Man Fined After Crashing Motorized Armchair
“With a stereo, headlights and the ability to travel 20mph, this isn’t a run-of-the-mill armchair. Inventive Dennis Anderson combined a powerful lawnmower with a cushy recliner to build this bizarre vehicle. He also stuck a ‘Hell Yeah It’s Fast’ sticker on the motorized chair, and used to show it off at festivals. However, the 61-year-old’s fun came to an end after he decided to drive it home after a drinking session at his local pub. Anderson lost control of the vehicle, which boasts an eight-horsepower engine, and crashed it into a parked car. Anderson was sentenced for drink-driving after crashing into a parked car while driving the chair Police couldn’t quite believe their eyes when they arrived at the scene in Proctor, Minnesota. Officers said Anderson, who injured his leg, was ‘clearly intoxicated’ and had a blood alcohol level three times the legal limit.” w/ photos
