When police set up a roadblock they generally have a reason - DUI checkpoint, AMBER alert, or a serious accident. If you drive around it then you get what you get, like this drunk driver did just south of Winterhaven, FL.

The suspected drunk (kind of confirmed since sober people generally don't hit BIG RED HELICOPTERS with flashing lights) became impatient with the roadblock set up for a serious pedestrian accident. The unnamed rummy drove around the barriers and right into the tail section of the chopper. The hit was hard enough to keep it from taking off and it needed to be towed.

The injured pedestrian had to be taken by ambulance to an area hospital.

That boozy driver is lucky the helicopter was a fantail and not open blade.....the driver was arrested and charges are pending.
