Limo Driver Boots Unruly Group After Drunken Melee

SEATTLE —

A limo driver kicked 20 unruly people out of a stretch Hummer late Thursday near Interstate 5 in South Seattle and left them on the street.

The limo driver pulled over on South Boeing Access Road after the passengers broke into a fight, said state troopers.

The driver told the passengers to get out of the vehicle and then drove away.

The passengers piled out onto the side of the road. One man was bloody, bruised, and troopers said, very drunk.

"Unfortunately, having to deal with very intoxicated people, you have to repeat yourself several times," Trooper Sean Carr told KIRO 7 Eyewitness News, "and unfortunately, use kid-gloves with them and tell them what you need them to do and explain it to them again and again and again."

Police also told KIRO 7 that medics took the assaulted man to a local hospital.

Washington State troopers had the limo driver come back and take the remaining people away.

Despite an assault inside the limo, police say there will be no charges.

Troopers said that the hurt man was too drunk to remember what happened.
