"The driver had fallen asleep at the wheel and yanked the steering wheel round when he woke up," said Jens O'Brien, spokesman for the regional government in Duesseldorf, western Germany. "There were nails strewn over 50 meters and the corpse fell out onto the ground." The A40 motorway was closed for an hour and there was a 4-mile back-up as police collected the coffin nails and took the corpse away. The hearse had not been driving to a funeral but had been transporting the body from Wuerzburg in southern Germany. The undertaker was slightly hurt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2003 I don't know why news about current events are ever moved to the General Chat folder. I mean, so what if they don't have anything to do with politics or the fate of the world? If they're current, and they happened, they're current events.
