Plane crazy

2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Spain - A driver died when his car collided with a small aircraft trying to take off in darkness in southern Spain, press reports said Wednesday.

The 47-year-old man had been driving beside the aircraft on his farm in Huelva to illuminate the runway for the pilot with his headlights when the collision occurred.

The pilot suffered only slight injuries. It remained unclear why he had attempted to take off in darkness.

Doesn't have that "he did WHAT?" level of stupidity we usually look for in Darwin candidates.

Danno, if you can supply us with a working URL and more information, you might have a keeper but as it is, there are just too many questions unanswered...
