I was shocked to read that this did NOT occur in Florida. We have so many blind, demented geezers infesting our roads and causing horrific accidents that a local radio station actually has a jingle they play before announcing the latest tragedy. It goes like this:

Hit the gas instead of the brake!

Another old fart makes a big mistake!

Then there was the octogenarian who hit a homeless man and drove around with the body lodged in his windshield until alerted to it by a toll booth operator…

Love this comment:

Did anyone check the citizenship status of those involved? I blame the Patrick admin for letting those illegals in!

Lou Dobbs?

I suspect that comment is auto-generated for every article in the Herald.

It probably would have happened here , but the geezer had already gone home for the summer. It seems like every winter St.Pete has several incidents of seniors creating their own drive-throughs.

Betty, I don’t remember where this happened, but years ago, when Steve Dahl and Garry Meier still had their legendary radio show in Chicago, the following news item came up: an elderly man convinced that his wife was having an affair, waited for her outside church one day and shot her. Only, of course, he shot a woman who wasn’t his wife, and only said “I guess I should have worn my glasses.”

At which point Meier interjected with “Ah, Magoo!”

And waiting for lurking PUMAs to cite that story as proof that we mock woman-lynching in five, four, three, two . . .

Was the driver John McCain?

I also note that he was driving a foreign car. How far away was the nearest GM dealership? When will someone stop the Obamafascist government’s terrorist attacks against RealAmerican stores like Wal*Mart?!?

Betty-

Oh yeah 1A from Palm Beach to Miami, the MOST DANGEROUS ROAD IN THE WORLD.  Don’t even think about crossing it on foot or riding a motorcycle on it, you’ll end up plastered to the grill or side panel of a cadillac or mercedes. Powder Blue with crimson starburst finish.

And then the monthly death ride where some blue-hair rampages through a street mall and wipes out a couple of families.

It’s Baby Stroller vs SUV, more colorful than a Monster Truck Rally!!! Tie dye protoplasm sidewalk art, right in front of the candle shop that sells the blown glass knick-knacks, and waffle cones.

Ya gotta love southern FLA, where Grand Theft Auto is played in real time, you are targetted by vehicular serial killers with bi-focal crosshair technology, and line of sight
through-the-steering-wheel range finding.

When you see one of these road sharks pull up to a stop sign, and you think they are waiting for you, they ARE. They can nail you with a broadside no matter how fast you’re going, and they do it all, without even seeing you.
