Update On Bus Driver Hurt At Osw Crash-a-rama

[ancrdave]

I'm sorry, but I don't remember his name (he's from Lady Lake)... Everyone thought he had a broken hip... that is why they took so long to get him out of the bus... Then what happens? Well, turns out the hip was not broken, just dislocated... When they transfered him to the gurney to go on the helicopter, his hip popped back in place... After a quick check at the hospital, he was home before Crash-A-Rama was over!!! Just thought you'd like some good news today...

I guess the old Blood & Guts Times, also known as the Orlando Sentinel, didn't bother to do any follow-up on the facts. They chose to run thier "driver critically injured at Crash-A-Rama" story anyhow.

Typical news media. Tragedy sells, but the truth in these stories doesn't matter one bit.

Way to go, Enquirer!

Ever since Dale Sr. passed I refuse to even look at the Sentinel.

regrettably... The newspaper folks will do anything to sell newspapers.. Whether it be stretching the truth or not and ta' hell with the follow up on the story and/or the truth... These days, everyone seems to be more interested in the money that comes from the Headline instead of the actual person and/or thing...

Now that is a funny story. Sure it wasn't then, but thanks for sharing. Brought back some memories of my own.

Bill Woodard flipped his Modified one night at Golden Gate... Wasn't hurt but had to go to the hospital to have his stomach pumped after he swallowed the wad of chewing tobacco he had in his mouth...

[flraceguy]

See what does the world have to do shout it out.. It is much safer to smoke cigarettes instead of the darn chewing tobacco... Could have poisoned him real good!!! You know in a crash, the cigarette will go flying... No swallowing required... Oh and don't worry about that 15 or so gallons of high octane Racing fuel....

ROFLMAO... Please see note below...
