Man Decapitated During Ride With Friend

MARIETTA, Ga. -- A drunken driver ran off the road and sideswiped a telephone-pole support wire, decapitating his best friend, who was hanging out the passenger window, police say.

John Kemper Hutcherson, 21, then drove 12 miles back to his suburban Atlanta home early Sunday and went to sleep in his bloody clothes, leaving the headless body in the truck, police said.

A neighbor walking with his baby daughter Sunday discovered 23-year-old Francis Daniel Brohm's headless corpse in the parked truck and called authorities. The head was found in the bushes near the pole.

Hutcherson was charged with vehicular homicide, driving under the influence and other offenses. He was jailed Monday on $100,000 bail.

It was not immediately known whether he had hired a lawyer.

Police said Hutcherson and Brohm -- best friends since high school -- were drinking at a bar Saturday night and left after Brohm said he felt sick.

Brohm had been hanging his head out the window when Hutcherson swerved off the road. Police do not know how fast Hutcherson was driving when he hit the nearly vertical support wire. A broken sideview mirror was the only noticeable damage to the truck, authorities said.

Officers said Hutcherson appeared remorseful after they found him sleeping inside his home Sunday morning, covered in blood and visibly drunk.

Hutcherson was jailed in 2001 on a number of traffic charges, including driving under the influence. He pleaded guilty to underage possession, and the other charges were dismissed.

LOL

Shit, that fucker must have been blitzed. Either that or he just didn't like the guy that much.

So, not only was the driver being dumb driving drunk, but the passenger was hanging his head out the window? They really know how to breed them in Georgia...

Ah, no, they're not that similar. I thought it was an exact replica of the case: In Ireland about a year ago, two friends were driving home drunk when the passenger got decapitated, or almost decapitated, by an oncoming truck while hanging out the window. The driver left the body on the victim's mother's lawn and drove home.

They were drunk and the friend even left the body on the victim's mother's lawn.

It has to be the same story.

Read the article. It's not.

Do you really need another reason not to drive drunk? Nothing pisses me off more when I hear people laugh about driving under the influence and think that they can do it everytime and not have anything happen.

Man, that's not even funny or anything, I just feel bad for the guy. Especially since it's the dude's best friend, that had to be tough.

I don't feel bad for him at all. I've gotten pretty fucked up in the past but I've never been so drunk that I wouldn't notice that I had just decapitated my best friend and driven home next to his headless corpse while it was spewing blood all over me the whole time. The guy had enough brain cells working to get the truck back to his house (12 miles!), get out, and walk to his bed, after all. He deserves whatever he gets.

This is so sad, but the guy could've prevented the situation by calling a cab.
