Earlier this week a fork lift operator – a man suffering from bipolar disorder who hadn’t taken his medication in recent weeks but had been drinking beer earlier in the day – led police on an extremely low speed chase down I-30 near Fort Worth. The episode was both absurdly comic and extremely tragic, highlighting how the combination of illness, substance abuse, and heavy machinery can lead to dangerous results. Finally arrested, the fork lift operator faces charges of aggravated assault, theft, evading arrest, and DWI.
