A Kentucky man is facing charges after he went on a beer run while intoxicated and his son jumped out of his truck, leaving him in a coma.

Austin Brooks, 40, was driving intoxicated on his way to purchase more beer in Scott County last week with his son and nephew in the bed of his pickup truck, his nephew told deputies, according to WKYT.

As they were heading down Porter Road, Brooks was driving too fast, his nephew said, especially since the road was wet.

When they entered the area of Love’s Truck Stop and the 136 overpass, the son and nephew grew concerned that he would drive onto the interstate.

The two boys banged on the truck cab in an attempt to grab Brooks’ attention.
