BLAINE, Wash. (CBS/AP) A Washington State man crashed two cars in a row driving while intoxicated, then got in his tow truck and tried to move the vehicles - still driving drunk, say police.

The Bellingham Herald reports that Tommy Ryser was arrested and booked on three counts of driving under the influence Monday.

The Whatcom County Sheriff's office says Ryser, who's 54, crashed his truck into a utility pole Monday night, abandoned that vehicle and got in his wife's Volkswagen, but crashed that car into a guardrail.

He then got his privately owned tow truck and attempted to tow the crashed vehicles, even with a bloodied forehead.

Sgt. Larry Flynn says when Ryser pulled up to the scene of one of the crashes, police were there to investigate.

The rest is DUI history.
