This news article seems to be similar to the "Bus kills romping couple" story in the slushpile. I know that car accidents normally don't qualify but this one demonstrates a huge level of stupidity on the part of the potential winners. You might say they were stopped just in to prevent further damage to the gene pool.

Excerpt from The Namibian.

A COUPLE who were killed when they were run over by two vehicles on a road near Brakwater on Sunday were allegedly having sex at the time.

The man and woman, as yet unidentified, were lying in the road when they were first hit by an all-terrain vehicle driven by Liz Komen and shortly afterwards by a bakkie driven by lawyer Cobus Potgieter.

The accident took place at around 00h30 along the old tarred road linking Windhoek and Brakwater.

Komen, who was still in shock over the incident, did not want to speak about the tragedy which she described as "terrible".
