Two car in the same tree

2014 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

The story is a probably a too common story, a result of an equation in which the last member is the only innocent: people +cars +alcohol +tree. However, I found this one may interest you. Seems like fours morons decided to play "Need For Speed" while being drunk and on cannabis. Sadly, it ended as it ends most of the time: two cars crash, four dead. According to the police, one the crashed car speedometer showed a speed of 130km/h at the moment of the crash. What I think may be worthy of Darwin, is that somehow the two drivers managed to crash in the same tree. Yep. Apparently the first car crashed, then was moved by the violence of the shock, right in time for the second car to crash in the same tree.

If you don't find the story enough for Darwin awards, at least you should award a special mention for the pine tree who somehow participated in human natural selection. This tree pruned human specie, somehow.

Speaking of which, I'm sure in a few day we'll here people saying this story is a good reason for cutting all the trees along the roads...

Ha yes: check: Reproduction: dead. Excellence: alcohol (>1.5g/l), cannabis, driving over 130km/h on a 50km/h road AND in a turn in normal cars. Very stupid alas too common. Self-Selection: indeed. Maturity: ages: 20-25y old.

Definitely Toss: Bystanders Hurt
Thanks, Youpi, but we can't accept stories like this because some of the victims are considered hurt bystanders. The driver of a car is solely responsible for the well being of all the passengers, and the passengers have no control over whether the car crashes or not.


James said:

None of the news blurbs about this mention that ALL parties were complicit, therefore I will have to agree with Bruce! Thanks just the same, Youpi, and if there is evidence ALL victims were complicit, feel free to resubmit and I will reconsider!
