Drunk Designated Driver Runs Over - Kills Boyfriend
<snip>

Todd Birch apparently knew he was too intoxicated to drive, but he gave his car keys to the wrong person, authorities said.

Shortly after leaving a Downtown bar early Thursday, the 24-year-old man died after he was run over by his own car.

Liza Besser, Birch's 22-year-old girlfriend, told police she was driving to pick up Birch about 1:40 a.m. after they both walked out of the bar when she hit him.

"She knew he was kind of lagging behind. Next thing she knows, she feels this lump or bump," said Indianapolis Police Sgt. William Weber.

Besser's blood- alcohol level was later tested at 0.21, nearly three times the level at which a person is considered drunk, said Weber, who leads an enforcement unit targeting drunken drivers.

2. Hey!
Maybe this is just an urban myth, but did anyone else hear that Laura Bush also ran over and killed her boyfriend when she was like seventeen or something? Can anyone substantiate this?
