Ron Snyder of Central Concrete sprays water in an effort
to prevent concrete from setting on a car that was driven
into a section of Fourth Street that was being repaired
yesterday afternoon. The car, driven by Remy Wagner of Columbia,
had to be winched out by a tow truck. Her dog Buddy was the only
passenger. The concrete set while the car was stuck in it, and
the section had to be replaced.

Yes - I have done stupid things too.

Is "Remy" a woman's name?

Her dog Buddy was the only passenger.

Her brain has been pre-donated to science.

If she was driving an evil SUV, this story would have made it onto CNN

[You Gotta Be Kidding Me]

Ya know it could be.........

Stupid construction crew forgot to use barricades to block off new concrete section of road. Construction crews can and have done very stupid things. The stories I could tell you.....AYH CARUMBA!!!!

Don't be too quick to blame the driver.

If she had been driving a SUV with 4-wheel drive, there'd likely have been no story at all.

This is why I rarely let Thud take the helm.

I read the article and was going to post this exact statement. You already did. Thanks alot!!

Stay safe; stay armed.

PS:My Jeep would NOT be stuck!!!

[razorback-bert]

If it had been a SUV then she wouldn't have been at fault, SUV's get into trouble without the driver doing anything.

Nor my motorbike. Though the possibility of freshly-poured concrete of a depth over my head is an unsettling one, if more likely to be found in a RoadRunner/Wiley Coyote cartoon rather than a highway construction project area.
