Rick hits the gas pedal - he's trying to outrun the cops! And if Rick wasn't drunk, he probably would be dead, but being that he was drunk, Rick weaved the passenger side into the oncomming traffic. Billy(or Billie whichever) got the brunt of the force direceted to him/her, he/she died. The Police impounded the wreck of the car, and Rick learned a valuable lesson, that he could walk again, but it would take years! Meanwhile the car was fixed good as new, and painted black and white! His parent's sold the car to the police department!
