A Driver Who Intentionally Hit Two Pedestrians to Get Out of Work Is Going to Prison

Hasn't this guy ever heard of faking a sick day?

There's a 23-year-old guy named Eli Aldinger from Bothell, Washington.  And back in April of last year, he was driving to work and INTENTIONALLY drove his Toyota Camry into two people who were crossing the street.

He told the cops he was trying to, quote, "get out of going to work."  He said he worked in a school cafeteria and he hated the direction his life had taken . . . so his answer was to run over two people, apparently.

Fortunately, both of the people he hit survived . . . even though he was going between 35 and 40 miles-per-hour when he hit them, and he even intentionally sped up as he saw them in the intersection.

He was in court last month and pled guilty to three different assault charges.

And he was just sentenced to 14 years in prison.
