ST. LOUIS – A man died after an accident at a St. Louis Jack in the Box drive-thru left him with extensive injuries Wednesday night.
The victim, identified by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch as 20-year-old Charles Wood Jr., pulled up to the window at an angle around 10 p.m., according to police.
Unable to reach his meal, Wood Jr. apparently opened the door of his vehicle, and, while leaning toward the window, inadvertently hit the accelerator. The car, which was in reverse, shot backward and slammed into a tree, according to the paper.
The accident left Wood pinned to the tree, with injuries to his head, neck, torso and legs. He was later pronounced dead at an area hospital.

I exactly what happened even before I read the story.
Opened the door and leaning out of a running car that is in gear? This is not a “freak accident.”

A friend was killed after getting caught in his door at a drive-thru. He went home afterwards and they found him dead of internal bleeding.

You have to wonder if John Barleycorn played a part.
Either way — helluva way to go.

That was probably due to a ruptured spleen.
A person can seem fine after a car accident and then die later.

And he died hungry. That’s the worst part.

I guess it is to late for him to take a remedial driving class. His skills were lacking.

Sadly, a man named Wood was killed by a tree. Special Darwin category for ironies?

John Barleycorn . . . last time I heard that expression used was in the old Buck Owens song Cigarettes and Whiskey and Wild, Wild Women . . .
