At first glance, Porky's and A Christmas Story don't have much in common. Except a director.

Bob Clark, the versatile filmmaker who celebrated horny teens in Porky's, and chronicled wide-eyed youth in A Christmas Story, was killed early Wednesday when a suspected drunken motorist, allegedly driving in the wrong direction on California's famed Pacific Coast Highway, slammed into the director's car, Los Angeles police said.

The crash occurred at about 2:20 a.m., Officer Karen Smith said. Clark, 67, died at the scene, as did his passenger and son, Ariel Hanrath-Clark, 22.
Lyne Leavy of Clark's production company, Film Classic Productions, said she didn't know where the Clarks were heading to, but said it's believed they were heading from Bob Clark's house in Pacific Palisades.

Hector Velazquez-Nava, 24, of Los Angeles, was arrested on suspicion of gross vehicular manslaughter, Smith said.

According to police, Velazquez-Nava was driving a 2007 GMC Yukon northbound in the southbound lanes of PCH through Pacific Palisades when the SUV collided with Clark's southbound 1997 Infiniti Q30.

The suspect and his 29-year-old female passenger were taken to a nearby hospital for minor injuries, Smith said. The woman was later released; Velazquez-Nava was still in the hospital as of Wednesday afternoon, she said.

Clark's other directing credits include the family comedy Baby Geniuses and the original Black Christmas.

Flounder

Why is it that the drunk driver, in most cases, is able to walk away from the accidents they cause? It's just not right that they walk away with just some scrapes and bruises.

Bud

The drunk remains loose and doesn't brace for the impact. They go with the flow which is easier on the body. Bracing will break shit.

In NASCAR they teach the driver to just keep their hands on the wheel and ride it out and do not brace or stiffen up while wrecking.

Easier said than done though when you don't get to practice it every weekend.
