Driver Passes Out After Getting Tongue Pierced, Hits House

An Illinois man may want to make sure he has a designated driver the next time he decides to get a piercing. The "Quincy Herald-Whig" says Jared Drew Hill was driving Monday evening when he passed out and drove into a house. The 27-year-old reportedly struck a traffic sign and then continued on before crashing into the home. Hill suffered minor injuries, while the person inside the house was not hurt. Hill told police that he had just gotten his tongue pierced at the Quincy Mall, adding that the last thing he remembers is driving down the road. He was ticketed for improper driving and is due back in court on April 6th.
