In local news - DUI and Raspberry Harvester

From radio station KGMI:
Alleged Drunk Driver Crashes Into Raspberry Harvester
A crash involving a car and a raspberry harvester Monday night sent five people to Saint Joseph Hospital in Bellingham.

The Washington State Patrol reports 18-year-old Sumas resident xxxx xxxxx was under the influence when her car rear-ended the Littau harvester at the intersection of Loomis Trail and Glendale Roads west of Lynden.

The raspberry harvester's driver was injured and taken to Saint Joseph Hospital, as well as xxxx and her three passengers.

Two passengers on the harvester were not injured.
This boggles -- the harvesters are narrow in order to fit through the rows of berries but they are about 12 feet tall and brightly illuminated. That none of the three passengers tried to stop the car makes you wonder where their attention was...
