CENTERVILLE, Wis. (AP) - Trempealeau County deputies say two bar patrons were almost hit by their own car this week when an alleged drunk driver slammed into it and knocked it through the wall into the saloon. Neither the patrons nor the driver was hurt.
Authorities said the two men were playing pool at the Jailhouse Saloon in Centerville a little before closing time Wednesday morning when their car flew through the wall.
Authorities arrested a 35-year-old man who allegedly caused the crash. Bar manager Diane Schwartz said the man is a regular customer who might have missed the parking lot turnoff.
The man was arrested on tentative charges of drunken driving and driving with a revoked license.
Schwartz said the two men are lucky they weren't hit.
