Police impound Pacho the Donkey after motorcycle crash
By The Associated Press
(3/09/05 - BOGOTA, Colombia) — The suspect was a little long in the face after being arrested, but is braying for an early release.
Police said Tuesday they detained the suspect, a donkey named Pacho, after a motorcycle crashed into it on a road in a northeastern city, with the motorcyclist suffering serious injuries.
"When there are road accidents and serious injuries, the vehicles involved are always impounded," said Diana Rojas, spokeswoman for the Arauca city police department. "We had to impound both the donkey and the motorcycle and put them at the disposal of investigators so they can decide what to do with them and whether to release them."
Pacho's owner, Nelson Gonzalez, said no one should pin the blame on the donkey for Sunday's crash.
"Neither the donkey nor I were responsible because I was in front and the motorcyclist saw me" before crashing, Gonzalez said.

You can't make this stuff up.
Actually, you can't argue with the donkey owners logic. If I were to rear end someone, it would be my fault. Sounds like the motorcyclist was inattentive.
That looks like a police motorcycle. Dis some police officer let Bozo the Kennedy Clone take his wheels out for a spin?
Good one martin - A motorcycle story about one ass and a picture of another.
So marteeeen, is that picture of the donkey on the motorcycle part of the article? Hard to differentiate.
PS - Someone tell the democr-- umm, donkey, to stop riding the clutch! :-)
And, what we all want to know-- was speed a factor?
Seriously, I can't imagine a motorcycle crashing into a donkey would be good for the donkey. I'm surprised the cyclist had serious injuries, but none are mentioned for the donkey (aka, the "other vehicle").
Donkeying under the influence, I bet.
I bet the donkey was drunk. Just wait and see.
No helmet either.
Busted Ass ~ what's this world coming to. :)
Seems to me, one of my vocabulary words about 50 years ago was "vehicle" and I never got to the part about the donkeys.
You sure can't!
Sounds like the time my grandma's ass was taken to court by the British in the 1920's! Seems the j@cka$$ didn't have proper papers to walk on his own from the farm to the market, which happened to be on the other side of the new Northern Ireland border.
The story in the paper is/was hysterical. They had to make a special pass for the donkey.
Pancho, speaking through an interpreter, took a page out of O.J. Simpson's book, vowing not to rest "until he finds the real donkey". Meanwhile, Pacho's laywer, Mark Geragos, has promised to mount a vigorous defense on behalf of his client.
Pancho has requested a visit from Sister Sara.
