"SUV crashes into US home and lands on man in bed"
I know this is a bit off topic here but it shows clearly that
literally nowhere is safe from these motorists who put cyclists at dire peril while cyclists cannot pose a similar threat to them. "A man in New Haven, Connecticut, suffered third-degree burns after a car crashed into his house and landed on top of him during a police car chase. Michael Sweat, 34, was asleep in bed when a sports utility vehicle BMW X5 tore through the front of his house and into his bedroom. Mr Sweat was trapped under the car for about an hour as firefighters tried to free him, a police spokesman said. With the car fully lodged inside the house, the driver fled from the scene. Police gave chase shortly after midnight on Tuesday in Hamden, Connecticut, on suspicion that the driver was wanted for motor-vehicle offences. Burned buttocks The suspect led police on a 5-mile (3.2-km) pursuit through the campus of Southern Connecticut State University and into New Haven. Policemen tried to stop the car by using "stop sticks", but the suspect swerved to avoid them..." Mo http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-16815084 -- . A driving licence is a licence to kill. |
