PAW PAW TOWNSHIP, Mich. - Having live electrical wires fall on her truck and set it on fire wasn't enough to slow a motorist in southwest Michigan. State police say the unnamed woman ran a stop sign Monday night in Van Buren County's Paw Paw Township and hit a cable supporting a utility pole.
The pole came down and the wires fell onto the truck, but the woman backed onto the roadway and resumed driving.
Trooper Rick Carlson said the driver kept going until flames engulfed the truck and she had to jump out. An ambulance caught up to her and took her to a Kalamazoo hospital for burns to her hands and head. Her injuries weren't life-threatening.
Carlson says the woman's dog, a pug, also was burned but survived.
probably late for Oprah
Sounds sort of like Clint Bowyer in the Daytona 500.
Let’s hope she gets her dog taken away from her.
Ryan Newman did the same thing here at Michigan a couple of years ago. He made a good half lap with the car looking like a comet.
“I had to keep driving faster, the flames were gaining on me,” she did not tell the media.
I’m guessing alcohol was involved...
Had this happened in a Middle Eastern country I would’ve assumed business as usual.
We can only hope that she has at least that excuse. My sister has a Pug and from what I understand they’re pretty delicate, sensitive little things which require a lot of care and attention. Not a good match for a drunk, if that’s what she is.
LOL. Too cute!
But her IQ is.
Someone pulling a flaming trailer drove down the island the other day igniting the dry salt grass all down the highway.
OK, fess up. This was you, huh.
