Woman walking her dog killed by drunk driver / dog swims out for help [VIDEO]

This is nuts and sad.

In Florida over the weekend a drunk driver hit and killed a woman out walking her dog. The dog, in shock, swam out half a mile into the water towards a kayaker who also happened to have a camera on board recording all this. He posted the video to YouTube before knowing about what happened to the dog's owner. Please don't drink and drive!

SARASOTA, Fla. - A 53-year-old Sarasota woman was hit and killed by a drunk driver, according to Florida Highway Patrol troopers.

It happened Saturday afternoon when troopers say Blake C. Talman, 22, was fleeing from another crash scene.

Talman reportedly lost control of his Nissan Altima on State Road 758 north of Glebe Lane when troopers say he struck Donna L. Chen as she was walking her dog on a sidewalk.

According to authorities, the dog was also hit, and it ran away from the scene.

After the collision, Talman's vehicle also hit landscaping, a street sign, and several wooden poles at the entrance of St. Michael's Archangel Catholic Church.

Meantime, a second vehicle had stopped to avoid Talman's vehicle, but that didn't stop the two cars from coming into contact.

That second driver, an 18-year-old woman, sustained minor injuries.

According to FHP reports, Talman's vehicle also hit a telephone pole before coming to a stop.

Both Talman and his passenger, a 24-year-old man, sustained serious injuries and were transported to Sarasota Memorial Hospital.

Investigators say Talman, of Bradenton, faces charges including DUI manslaughter and DUI property damage and personal injury.

Sunday morning, the hospital reported that Talman and the passenger had been discharged.

Talman is currently booked into the Sarasota County Jail.

During his first appearance before a judge, Talman's total bond was set at $100,000. Talman appeared to be very upset, and his attorney revealed that Talman is an expectant father.

Wow, that's incredible, in all senses of the word.

And I loathe drunk drivers! How hard is it not to drive when you drink alcohol?!

Ask srrussell. Apparently it's totally fine to slam three shots of tequila and drive three hours later.

What a sad story. I hope the driver gets locked up for a long time.

The strangest part of this story is that the guy was filming himself fishing.

A guy filming himself as he plays with his rod?! Never heard of that before

In the US, in most states, buzzed = drunk, and it doesn't matter if you are below the legal limit or not.

Thank you for your incredibly technical definition of the laws of the US. I will be sure to follow your guidance so as not to get a DWB.

Obviously! Since cats are smart enough not to swim into open waters!
