From the Nashua Sentinel:
January 31, 2011
Nashua, NH Police responded to a report of a car-tree collision south of Nashua, on Oakleaf Parkway, late Saturday afternoon.
The driver, 22 year old Andrew Mallek, had reportedly had lost sight of the road in Saturday afternoon's snowstorm and slid off from the roadway into a tree, which may have saved his life.
Hillsborough County officer Ted Allen was the first arrive at the scene of the accident, and noticed Mallek's 2001 Suzuki Esteem being held in place by a tree from continuing down a hill. Allen commented that Mallek's vehicle had struck the tree on the passenger side. Allen also noticed that Mallek's windshield wipers appeared to not be functioning properly, as the windshield was barely cleared when he arrived at the scene.
When questioned about the windshield, Mallek responded that due to his concern for the environment, he refused to use standard windshield washer fluid in his car, and opted to use plain water. When the temperatures dipped below freezing, the water froze and rendered his windshield washer system inoperable.
Mallek was cited for careless driving.

oh my...you think if he was such a green-fruitcake, he would have been driving a prius or a volt. What a weirdo.
My theory is that he probably just graduated college and was saving up to buy a Prius or Volt. Wonder how his "Esteem" is now!!!
