Let's not be too critical, Max. Who among us can't say they've been out for a semi-nude, meth-fueled, late night drag race on the highway, with the kids in the back seat? This guy just got caught.
Yep. The luck of the draw.
He was going to buy toys for the kids. It may not have been the best execution of a plan, but you can't call him a deadbeat dad.

Sometimes I wake up in the morning, read the news, and thank God it wasn't me.
High, pants-less dad crashed with kids in car
"A Lake Stevens, Wash., man accused of crashing into several cars on Interstate 5 while speeding south with his two young children aboard has been charged with vehicular assault.
By the time Johnathan Lee Harty finally could go no further, he was naked from the waist down with a bottle of urine at his feet and two bruised children in the backseat of his Chrysler Seabring, according to charging papers. Investigators contend he also had methamphetamine coursing through his bloodstream.
Minutes before the April 20 wreck, Harty, 31, put his daughters, aged 6 and 4, into the car and sped south on Interstate 5 to planning to take them to the Dollar Store to buy toys. It was 11:30 p.m., well after the discount retailer’s closing time.
Traveling in excess of 100 mph, Harty stuck his first car between the Boeing Field and the Southcenter mall south of Seattle, Senior Deputy Prosecutor Amy Freedheim told the court. The other driver was able to stop his damaged BMW while Harty sped on.
