free gas promo = arrests, fights, accidents

How badly would you want $30 worth of free gas? Enough to get arrested? Or into an accident? For some folks in Milwaukee, the answer apparently is yes.

An insurance company was running the promotion, which prompted hundreds of drivers to wait for hours to get about $30 worth of gas on the house.

But eventually, there were so many cars that they were lined up into a residential area, where some driveways were blocked. Angry residents began quarreling with those drivers. Four people wound up in police custody.

Then there were two minor crashes, which authorities believe happened when some drivers who were already in line tried to let some friends cut in. In the end, 700 lucky motorists got the free gas. Article here.
