2003 Slush Pile

Face the fan!

2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

On a dare, a young man of 25 rode in the engine compartment of his friend's truck (72 Chevy). With the hood up, the driver was unable to see the speed bump that caused his friend to fall face first into the radiator fan.

When the EMTs arrived, they tried to stabilize the young man. After loosing too much blood the young man died on the way to the hospital. Apparently the fan tore off a significant portion of the young man’s face and severed some major blood vessels.

Alcohol was a contributing factor in this case.

I have a hard time with this one - with the hood up, how could the driver see to drive? Let the readers decide...
