Wild ride: Luis Briones, 25, was found hiding
behind a cactus with one shoe on and his shorts on inside-out after he
crashed his SUV while having sex with a woman in the driver's seat
A New Mexico man faces multiple
charges after police say he was having sex with a woman while driving
drunk and crashed, ejecting his naked paramour from the vehicle.
The
driver, 25-year-old Luis Briones, was found with one shoe on and his
shorts on inside-out Monday night after he wrecked his Ford Explorer in
Albuquerque.
Police say
Briones' female passenger, who has not been named, was found without any
clothes on lying on the pavement after being thrown from the SUV. She
was taken to an area hospital in stable condition to be treated for deep
cuts to her face and head.
Authorities
allege Briones tried to drive away after the crash and leave his
passenger behind, but a witness grabbed his keys from the ignition.
The 25-year-old also allegedly tried to hide from responding officers behind a cactus, The Albuquerque Journal reported.
Briones is now facing nine charges, including aggravated DWI, reckless driving and evading police.
It
all started when Briones was spotted allegedly having intercourse while
driving east on a busy Albuquerque street with a naked woman planted in
his lap.
The 25-year-old
driver ran a red light in the 2600 block of Pennsylvania Northeast and
slammed into a westbound car, according to police.

Since neither Briones nor his passenger had seat belts on, the impact of the collision sent the woman flying out of the SUV.
Eyewitnesses
told police Briones appeared to be drunk when he scrambled out of the
car, and officers later found an open bottle of vodka inside.

According to police, the
25-year-old suspect tried to take off from the scene of the accident,
but a man who witnessed the bizarre incident knocked on his window and
forced him to come out.
The Good Samaritan told the local channel KOAT that
he then went to check on the injured woman, who was lying completely
exposed on the ground with her arm over her bruised face.
The woman is expected to recover. She will not be facing any charges.
When
police arrived on the scene, Briones attempted to seek shelter behind a
succulent plant and became hostile at the approach of officers and
paramedics.
After being placed inside a police cruiser, officers say the 25-year-old refused to keep his pants on.
According to online records, Briones was arrested twice in April for violating probation.
