Police in Hingham are warning recent high school graduates, promgoers and college students on summer break to exercise caution after a teenager was found passed out drunk in the middle of a street in the town early Friday morning.

A motorist traveling up a blind hill found the underage college student sleeping in the road around 4:30 a.m., according to the Hingham Police Department.

Police say the teenager was “extremely drunk.” Fortunately, he was not injured.

“Tragedy avoided,” the department said in a tweet.

I joke, but this is really no laughing matter. Could have ended in tragedy. Hope this kid comprehends and appreciates this extremely close call, and has learned something from it.
