     He did not smell of alcohol, so I suspected it was some other substance.  
He did have a small head unjury, but not sufficient to cause that sort of 
behaviour.  The time period for adrenaline and shock was well over.
     I cannot follow up on the accident as the city's list server is completely 
down.  Must be a government project.  :{b
