Many of us remember the eccentric, scuzzy yet charismatic
Real World San Francisco Star David “Puck” Rainey for his on and off screen
antics (and many of us do but wont admit it). Well- it appears he is at it again.
On March 24, 2012 Mr. Rainey was
arrested for felony driving under the influence after an accident on
California’s Route 79 in San Diego, California.
In addition to himself, Rainey’s son was also badly injured
in the auto accident. Rainey alleged to the California Highway Patrol that
investigated the accident that he was on a fishing trip with his 8 year old son
when he was forced to swerve his car to avoid hitting a deer that had wandered
into the road. As a result of the
violent defensive swerve, Rainey’s rolled down a steep embankment finally
ending slammed upside down against a tree in a stream bed.
Rainey was transported via ambulance to a trauma center
where he was examined and diagnosed with severe injuries including fractures in
his feet, neck, hand, sternum and clavicle. An unidentified California Highway
Patrolman stated that they are highly skeptical that a deer caused the injury
accident.
Rainey was allegedly past the legal alcohol limit and had
prescription medications in his system. The extent of the injury to Rainey’s
young son has been kept confidential but are said to be extensive.
Unfortunately, many accidents that cause severe injuries
like the ones that happened to Rainey and his son are directly caused by
driving while under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol.
Rainey has been booked on DUI and child endangerment charges
in San Diego Criminal Court. For those of us that remember, “Puck” it is almost
of no surprise that this type of conduct is still occurring, as he has publicly
admitted to battling substance abuse issues in the past. However, the fact that
he would put his son in such a dangerous situation is quite troubling.
