Sink Phink

2005 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

On Friday night, a man apparantly ignored warnings of a sinkhole that was cause due to a water main break. That did not stop our brave trooper from driving his pickup around warning signs that took him right into a 20 foot sinkhole. The truck was submerged in the water in which our hero couldn't escape. Once again, another intellectually-challenged person falls victim to the almighty Darwin.

Sorry, but driving around safety barricades is just too common.

Water all over the street, safety barricades, and people trying to get you to stop? Hmm... Could use a better write-up...

I'm not really happy with this one, but he did drive around safety barricades, which does approach the level of arrogance that we look for.

Every time there's a rain storm, people drive into high water. Almost every time there's construction going on, people ignore baracades and drive on through. Something that happens and people die from far too often.

If it's a good write-up, this could have DA potential. He drove round barricades, safety personnel, and people watching the whole thing - smacks of stoopidity to me
