Woman runs over own legs in McDonalds drive through

[DS1]

brace yourself for some horrible news writing, but here it is

PHOENIXVILLE — The Phoenixville Police Department is investigating a freak accident in which a borough woman ran over both of her legs in the drive-through lane at McDonald’s, 651 Nutt Rd., Friday afternoon.

According to Cpl. Pat Mark, a black Chevrolet Blazer, driven by a 53-year-old borough woman, was in the drive-thru lane at McDonald’s around 1:55 p.m. September 28.

“For some unknown reason, her legs were run over by her vehicle,” said Mark. “We are investigating how this accident could’ve happened.”

What police are trying to determine is how the woman exited her vehicle and how her vehicle rolled over both legs.

Emergency personnel arrived on scene and began treatment before placing her on a stretcher.

The woman was conscious while speaking with emergency personnel, as they were focused on her legs.

1. Change diving...

It's gotta be.

2. You have to put the car in park lady!

Hope she is okay though!

3. That reads like a weird translation from German.

And it also boggles the mind that someone could run over themself at a MickeyD's drive-thru.

4. Interesting - Cpl. Pat Mark is a black Chevrolet Blazer being driven by a 53-year-old borough woman.

How singularly odd that is.

Does Phoenixville have a policy of hiring Chevy Blazers to serve as police?

5. Don't be a Chevy Blazerist.

Equal rights, man.

10. I know, comma-itis.

:eyes:

this sentence had me scratching my head:

"The woman was conscious while speaking with emergency personnel, as they were focused on her legs."

:wtf: It's so bad, it's good. :rofl:

arrgghh...now I have an earworm, that crappy pop song that goes, "I hear/ the secrets that you keep/ while you're talking in your sleep..."

:nuke:

13. Could be worse

She could have been talking to them while she was unconscious. :)

[idgiehkt]

17. lol

It's crazy, isn't it? And it almost makes it sound like they were ogling her legs or something, just one of the worst sentences I've ever read. Of course, I'm talking a business english class right now and we are honing in on all the particulars so they really jump out at me lately.

[Rabrrrrrr]

19. Whew! So as long as they focused on her legs, she remained conscious.

Good thing they focused on her legs, then!

11. I thought that was a euphemism. n/t

[Generic Brad]

6. Could she be charged with a hit and run?

Because if she is, that would be so unfair. Especially since she couldn't run after driving over her legs.

[BlooInBloo]

7. Somehow I don't think she was running.

18. This has been Deep Thoughts, with Jack Handey...

Nice post! :)

8. Weird story that can't even make the Darwin Awards.

9. If only the scalding hot coffee had also fallen on her legs, so she could sue.

12. I blame God

s/he keeps making better idiots...

14. Pretty rough way to score a free Happy Meal, but whatever. n/t

15. 0_o

i think i just got dumber reading that article

[Oeditpus Rex]

16. Aw, cut the little papers some slack

They can't afford such luxuries as copy editors.

[peekaloo]

20. strange things afoot on Nutt Rd

did she want fries with that?

[Jamastiene]

21. Oh, good grief.

That sounds like some strange shit that would happen to me. Hope she gets well soon. I know what it is like to have freak accidents. I've had some of the dumbest shit happen to me in life. Ever rolled over your own bottom lip while roller skating? I have when I was 12 years old. I'll never forget that. Note to self: Don't try to do tricks nobody else does on roller skates. There is a reason they don't do that. :crazy:

22. Dude...

I could write a better news story than that...
:wtf: :rofl:

[MilesColtrane]

23. PETA's right.

Meat Kills!!! err.......I mean, Meat Maims!!!!

She was probably making a burger run for Al Gore.

[KamaAina]

24. It was an SUV! I knew it!

My first thought was of the "Six Feet Under" episode in which a guy was backing out of his driveway in an SUV, reached down to pick up the newspaper, and... well, you know the rest.

25. feeble kick. just because I ran over my own legs at the car wash yesterday
