   Here's a convoluted one...   
      
   Begins roughly 3am-   
      
   EMS and sheriff respond to an MVA, car vs tree.   
   On arrival, find severely collapsed Toyota passenger   
   car, one very dead occupant. Extrication crew eventually   
   remove roof, doors, seats etc and the dead body is retrieved   
   (in parts). On the floor of the car we find a driver license   
   with the name Joe Blow, 17 year old local kid, same lic that   
   the vehicle query returns to.   
      
   Sheriff notifies Joe Blow's parents "very sorry to inform   
   you, your son was killed in an auto accident".   
      
   Mom cries, dad stomps and cusses, they cancel their   
   work day, take their other kids out of school, make   
   funeral arrangements etc. ID'ing the dead body was   
   extremely difficult due to the immense blunt trauma.   
   Parents took a look at the nearly decapitated, very   
   crushed body and said "Yes, that's our son".   
      
   About noon, Joe Blow (the alleged dead kid) phones home   
   and says "I'm sorry I got drunk last night and passed   
   out at the party". Billy took my car and I don't know   
   where he is.   
      
   Bottom line, it was Billy that was driving the car,   
   and died. Joe Blow's license was in the car but Joe   
   was back at the party passed out on the floor.   
      
   Parents went pretty ballistic.
