A wreck-less driver with a long history of driving infractions was the cause for a Boston Globe truck’s 40 foot plummet. 25-year-old Vivencia Bellegarde was allegedly driving drunk when she steered her Cadillac sedan into the back of the truck forcing it over the guard rail. After it hit the guard rail, the truck took a 40 foot fall and once it landed, it rolled multiple times. Thankfully, there were no other cars in the vicinity of the roll and the driver of the truck, 35-year-old Paul Healy, Jr., didn’t suffer life threatening injuries. Check out the video after the jump.

Auto Talk: Kia Reveals RWD Sport Sedan Concept
Recently, Kia officials let it slip that the Korean automaker would be debuting some sort of “coupe-like” rear-wheel-drive concept at this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show, and just a few days later, we now have our first glimpse at that very car.
