The Headless Streaker

2006 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Nobody knows why 29-year-old Omar Flores decided to run naked in traffic, but that's exactly what he did. Unfortunately his late night au-natural romp along the streets of Garden Grove, CA, probably didn't end as he had planned, for Flores came out the loser, and minus his head, after colliding with an oncoming car. Police say that neither speed nor alcohol appeared to be a factor in the cause of the collision, and the unharmed driver is unlikely to be charged.

Definitely odd, and there's no evidence (yet) of mental illness. This one's certainly above and beyond the usual "hit by a car" story. I'll let it pass, pending the approval of my fellow mods!

I'm ambivalent about this one, but decapitation by traffic makes me think it has real potential. There are some reasons to go negative with it, but the bizarreness quotient here is just too much to be overlooked, in my opinion.

There's more to this one than meets the eye. I'm guessing more details will emerge.
