Fireworks Ignite In Car Killing Man, Burning Another

A 23-year-old man was killed and another injured when fireworks in the back seat of their car exploded and ignited the car, according to Local 6 News.

Police said Aravis Walker, 23, and Antonio Robinson, 27, were lighting fireworks and throwing them from their vehicle Mondaynight while driving in the area of Carver Street in Melbourne, Fla.

At some point, an amber from a cigarette or one of the lit fireworks fell on the back seat of the car and ignited several other explosives.

Robinson was able to exit the vehicle after running into a light pole at Carver Street and Walker Street. However, Walker was not able to get of the car and sat in the car as it burned.

Both men were burned over 90 percent of their bodies and transported to Orlando Regional Medical Center. <snip>

GOING GOING GROIN

Shotgun drunkard blows off testicles

By Bob Dow

A MAN downed 15 pints of beer then accidentally blew off his testicles with a shotgun.

David Walker, 28, was so drunk he had no idea what happened after he picked up the loaded gun in his home.

Sheffield Crown Court heard that Walker, from Dinnington, Yorkshire, had an argument with a friend in a pub.

Afterwards he went home and found his gun, pushed it into his pocket and went out.

But the gun went off blasting pellets into Walker's groin. He needed emergency surgery and had to have both his testicles removed.
