Yeah, if he'd been dragged by a VW rabbit he'd be much better off right now [/sarcasm]

I live right near the scene of this accident. That part of I-9 sees something like this several times per year. It is an exceedingly dangerous stretch of Interstate. Do not stop. Do not change tires. There's no way to actually get off the highway.

The driver of the SUV is mentioned only as an after-thought. We all know how eveil those SUV's are. Anyone who drives one of these is going to be possessed of the Devil in the same way that gun owners will eventually succomb to that evil influence and go on a killing rampage.

"Fitsum Gebreegziabher" gesuhndeit!

Say that name again?
And why the heck was he walking down the freeway?

[Hand em their arse]

Your assuming the SUV didn't do it alone... Haven't you ever seen "Christine"?

It could happen, ya know....

[nuconvert]

LOL!!

Quite a name!

[Blood of Tyrants]

This was OBVIOUSLY caused by General Motors and the dealer who sold the SUV!

[plain talk]

A sport utility vehicle hit a man on an interstate highway Sunday and dragged his body

Lousy editing job. The SUV didn't hit a man - a man driving an SUV did. Incredible.

Reminds me of the Long-distance telephone commercial from a few years ago:

Man in the maternity ward of a hospital calls his parents collect. The Operator connects the parties and asks if they will take a collect call from Bob. "Bob, who?" says the older man. The Operator relays the answer: "It's Bob Wejusthadababyitsaboy." The older man says "Don't know him." and the call does not go through (no one is charged). I always liked that one.

[Darksheare]

I did read it.
And your problem is?

[Guillermo]

The SUV made him drink.

[Hand em their arse]

Actually, the incredible part is it was probably edited exactly as they wanted it to read.

Last time I had a flat tire, I did my darndest to limp the car to someplace safer to pull over.
(Was run off the road by a jerk in a brand new blue 2003 Corvette. I'd have hit him head on if I was the only person in the car. Instead, I had my pregnant sister in law and my brother in the car with me. Hit a pothole and took out two tires instead..)

But that is quite a mouthful to say namewise.

[Darksheare]

It read as if the guy doing the hitting had a flat.

[Hand em their arse]

I heard Galdino called John Edwards when he got home and Edwards told him to immediatley start drinking his face off!!

DWI--don't think so

gotta love those trial lawyers!
