    `Pulp Fiction' Screenwriter Arrested

    VENTURA, Calif. (AP) — Oscar-winning screenwriter Roger Avary has been arrested on su ion of manslaughter and driving under the influence after a Ventura County car crash that killed a man and injured Avary's wife, authorities said.

    Avary, 42, was the driver in the single-car collision shortly after midnight Sunday in Ojai, said Capt. Ross Bonfiglio of the Ventura County Sheriff's Department.

    Killed in the accident was Andreas Zini, 34, a resident of Italy who was apparently visiting the couple. Firefighters cut Zini from the car with Jaws of Life, and he died several hours later at Ventura County Medical Center.

    Avary's wife Gretchen, 40, was ejected from the car and found in the road by deputies, Bonfiglio said. She was hospitalized in stable condition.

    Avary was booked but later released on $50,000 bail, Bonfiglio said. He did not know whether Avary has hired an attorney.

    Avary won an Academy Award along with Quentin Tarantino for writing "Pulp Fiction," and was also a co-writer of the recent epic "Beowulf." He and his wife live in Ojai, a popular artists' colony and tourist destination 14 miles north of Ventura.

    That road to Ojai sucks bad enough when you're sober.

    Have you not seen Pulp Fiction? Willis didn't get done, Ving Rhames did.

    Yeah, that would work except that we can see you edited both your posts to change "Bruce Willis" to "Ving Rhames" because you're an idiot.

    uh...

    a single-car collision?

    Can't speak for Ventura County, but the term Motor Vehicle Collision (MVC) has replaced Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) amongst a lot of Police/Fire/EMS, even if only one vehicle and a stationary object are involved. Perhaps they were quoting or paraphrasing the Captain who would have most likely used the Law Enforcement term.
