This incident is a little closer to home! 49-year-old Barbara Ann Bearden from Weymouth was charged for quite a few things this past Sunday after driving drunk: operating under the influence of alcohol, operating to endanger, leaving the scene of an accident after causing property damage, and failure to stay within marked lanes.
While driving down route 3A, Bearden hit a guardrail, most likely multiple times, which popped both her passenger side tires so she was left driving on her rims. Debris from her car was found in several areas along route 3A. She decided to drive her car, on fire, to a Mobile gas station in Hingham (makes perfect sense).
The gas station attendant, as well as a local resident who was pumping his gas only 15 feet from where Bearded parked her flaming car, used fire extinguishers to put out the flames before police showed up.
Bearden, who smelled of alcohol, was arrested after failing multiple sobriety tests. She admitted she had been drinking earlier.
It's a miracle no one was killed, and nothing blew up.
