Default OMG, what an idiot - 5 hurt as driver swerves to avoid possible opossum

A motorist who swerved to avoid hitting a small animal, possibly an opossum, allegedly caused a three-vehicle accident that sent five people to the hospital, CLTV reported.

The crash happened about 6:30 p.m. Sunday on Central Avenue near Midlothian Turnpike in unincorporated Cook County near southwest suburban Crestwood, police said.

The driver of a 1997 Ford Explorer swerved to avoid hitting an animal on the road and lost control of his vehicle, CLTV reported. The SUV went in and out of a ditch on the side of the road, struck a minivan, rolled over several times and crashed into a Jeep Cherokee.

The driver of the Ford was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center, Oak Lawn, while a woman and three youngsters in the Jeep were taken to Palos Community Hospital, Palos Heights, officials said. None of the injuries were believed to be life threatening. No one was reported hurt in the minivan.

The driver of the Explorer was ticketed for driving without a license and failure to slow down to avoid an accident, CLTV reported.

Default That sucks about the kids and their cracked skulls.....

.... but the one response is funny:

All cats ought to be run over with a steamroller.

If necessary, they should be sought out and stapled to the tarmac while the roller makes its approach.

Smug, sarcastic, self-licking b'stards, the lot of them.

And I hope this driver gets what's coming to him as well. i.e 72 torch-bearing parents, armed with baseball bats.

Default Words to live by.

Although this morning, I had a nice big 10 point buck bound out in front of the car. Big brakes are nice - I had at least a spare 20'.
