Man, 65, dies after his car slams into pole in Glasgow
http://tinyurl.com/6wvee6p
A 65-year-old man was killed Saturday afternoon when he lost control of his 1970 Plymouth Barracuda on Del. 896 (Summit Bridge Road) in Glasgow and slammed into a pole, police said. The victim's name was not released. The crash was reported at 4:39 p.m. on Summit Bridge Road, 400 feet north of Sweethollow Drive, said state police Sgt. Paul Shavack. The driver was heading north at a high rate of speed on Summit Bridge Road when he lost control of his car, Shavack said. The vehicle rotated 90 degrees clockwise, veered off the right side of the road and slammed into a utility pole, Shavack said. The victim was thrown from the car, and the vehicle split into three sections, with the engine block traveling 100 feet from the point of impact, he said. The utility pole was sheared in half. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene. Prior to the incident, the car ran out of gas on the right shoulder of Summit Bridge Road, south of Howell School Road, and family members brought the victim gasoline. After he was gassed up, the driver took off at a high rate of speed and crashed, Shavack said. The northbound roadway was closed at Howell School Road for three hours while the crash was investigated and the wreckage was cleared. |

Wow, is that ever ****ed up. Stupid ass 65-year-old geezer. What a waste of a classic muscle car. Maybe he had a heart attack or stroke. Or maybe trying to commit suicide. The hood looks like it survived not too bad. What's with the huge scoop on the hood? Did the idiot have a blower on that engine? The rear tail light panel might also be usable. |

Given that this was in the UK -- and though we do have some cars running on
gas -- I suspect the vehicle ran out of petrol... It's certainly a mess in any language. :-) DAS -- To reply directly replace 'nospam' with 'schmetterling' --- "MoPar Man" > wrote in message ... > rob wrote: > >> A 65-year-old man was killed Saturday afternoon when he lost control >> of his 1970 Plymouth Barracuda on Del. 896 (Summit Bridge Road) in >> Glasgow and slammed into a pole, police said. > > Wow, is that ever ****ed up. > > Stupid ass 65-year-old geezer.

Since the report refers to "state police Sgt....," it seemed unlikely that it was in UK, and indeed the reporter's email address is . So I assume that there must be a Glasgow, Delaware. The real Glasgow should sue them for copyright infringement :-) Perce |

DAS used improper usenet message composition style by top-posting and
unnecessarily full-quoting: > Given that this was in the UK -- You obviously did not visit the link given. This happened in the municipality of Glasgow, in the US state of Delaware. Your first clue that this probably was not Glasgow Scottland is that it involves a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda. |

Yes, the car is no clue.
And Scotland has as many t's as tea... And now I have learned that there is a Glasgow in the USA (but I am not surprised). And I am not surprised that MoPar is still in the usenet police. Time to mellow, ol' boy...
