SAN ANTONIO -- A driver lost control of his truck and crashed it into four other vehicles on the Southwest Side Friday.

The accident happened around 2:30 p.m. Friday in the 2800 block of General Hudnell. The driver said he was drinking a "Slurpee," when he got a 'brain freeze' and blacked out. His truck went over a curb and hit four vehicles in a parking lot at an office building on Port S.A. When he came to, his foot was still on the gas pedal.

Police said the man passed a field sobriety test.

No injuries were reported.

I'm sorry but a "brain freeze" does not cause anyone anywhere to black out ever. How stupid are the police? I mean really! A five care collision!
