ROCK ISLAND, Tenn. -- One moment, Justin Hill was turning into his driveway. Minutes later he was being flown to a hospital as his home went up in flames. Then he got a traffic ticket.
Hill, 42, got into a crash after turning into the path of an oncoming car Tuesday evening, said Tennessee Highway Patrol Officer Monte Terry. Hill's wife heard the crash and ran outside, leaving the kitchen stove, where she had been cooking unattended.
Within minutes, their Rock Island trailer was on fire, and firefighters who had responded to the accident found themselves fighting the blaze.
The rural central Tennessee home had extensive damage. Hill was treated at the hospital and released, but he was cited in the accident for failure to yield.

I wonder if they will bill him for the flight to the hospital.

Just another day in the life of the trailer bunch.

Poor guy.
I mean, are we supposed to laugh at others’ misfortune?

Thanks for the smile.
My daughter has hours of fun taking popular songs like that and putting them through Goldwave to make them into "Chipmunk" songs.

I mean, are we supposed to laugh at others’ misfortune? One bad thing is misfortune. A string of them provokes laughter even from the victim in a "what else can happen?" sort of way. It is a survival mechanism.
You laugh to keep from crying because crying doesn't do you any good.

When I was in college I wrecked my car and had an apartment fire. Then I lost my keys, but by then it didn’t make any difference.

Yeah, you laugh to keep from crying IF YOU’RE THE ONE IT’S HAPPENING TO!!
Otherwise, it’s like being surrounded by a bunch of grinning Nazis.
