Some guy did the same in NY in September, so a 10.o for originality is way too high. Several others have done the same.

How did they know about the few seconds? Did any of the victims tell the story?

But it does sound plausible considering that it takes a few seconds before all the blood drains from the head and the victim loses consciousness.

[Slings and Arrows]

It’s not clear exactly what the man wrote on the van.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAL!!!!!

[Imperialist]

allah akbar?

[Cementjungle]

I have read about someone doing that in New York City or something about a month ago... here on FR

Me too. Must be a cultural thing.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

NAH!

[familyop]

Yep. My murky memory says that the other one was in or near NYC.

[Doomonyou]

The six "P's":

"Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance."

Well Done.

[Veggie Todd]

I killed myself in my Chevy Van
and that's alright with me.

He then tied one end of a rope around his neck and the other end around a fire hydrant. The man then drove off, decapitating himself.

Yep, that would do it.

[dfwgator]

Sounds like something straight out of the Book of Bunny Suicides.

Austin Powers: Not the time to lose one's head.
Vanessa Kensington: No.
Austin Powers: That's not the way to get ahead in life.
Vanessa Kensington: No.
Austin Powers: It's a shame he wasn't more headstrong.
Vanessa Kensington: Hmm.
Austin Powers: He'll never be the head of a major corporation.
Vanessa Kensington: Okay, that'll do.
Austin Powers: Okay.

[Hoosier-Daddy]

How to get a head in the US...

[jocon307]

Yes I remember that too.

[Axenolith]

There was a guy who did in front of his unrequited love interest with a freakin’ chainsaw, these dudes are wannabes I tell ya!

[Texicanus]

Excuse me, I didn’t know someone else had done the deed before him. The news sometimes doesn’t make it to the outback here in greater Podunk.

I’m still trying to make some sense of it. Doesn’t make any sense unless the van he was he driving was one of those taco wagons we frequently see here in Texas. That presents several possibilities. Or, it might have been one of those drive-by suicides. Who knows.

I don’t know whether to laugh or throw up...

[spokeshave]

Sounds like an Isadora Duncan event.

[Nailbiter]

is this drive by beheading?

[Blue Jays]

The secret to beheading via automobile is to use a l-o-n-g piece of rope so one can accelerate to a high rate of speed before it goes taut.

[Mark17]

Perhaps it said “I’m sorry for sneaking into your country and stealing your benefits & jobs” or some such.

I see, some guy committed suicide by decapitating himself. Did the Cowboys beat the Bears
