Florida: Where Even the Canal Can't Escape the Elderly
Nine people have died and, miraculously, one survives. Great. More mouths to feed.
At 7:29 p.m. on Aug. 5, the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office received a call about some old folks who confused their SUV for a submarine. Sure enough, when deputies arrived, they found a 2023 Ford Explorer submerged in a canal, like a turd in a toilet bowl.
Apparently, these geniuses were driving along when they came to a left turn. Now, anyone with half a brain would've slowed down and, you know, turned the steering wheel. But not these folks. No, they plowed straight ahead like a bull in a china shop, hit the guardrail, and flipped into the drink.
Four of these idiots were already dead when the Palm Beach County Fire Rescue arrived. Teri Barbera, a spokesperson for the sheriff's office, probably read from a script and said:
"Four passengers in the vehicle were pronounced dead at the scene by Palm Beach County Fire Rescue."
Look, it's simple math: water + car = dead people.
Six other passengers were dragged out and rushed to trauma centers, where five of them pulled a Houdini and croaked. So much for modern medicine, huh?
Some 26-year-old dude is still clinging to life. Good for him. He's probably wishing he'd taken that bus instead.
Capt. Tom Reyes, who must be related to the king, told USA TODAY that five kids and five adults were involved in this mess. Sounds like a real family outing, huh? Bet they wish they'd just gone to Disney World instead.
We don't know the identities of the victims yet, but it's safe to say they won't be winning any Darwin Awards.
Fatal crash: Old Lady Meets Gyroplane, Gyroplane Wins
The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office took to Facebook to share their sympathies, calling the crash a 'heartbreaking incident.' Give me a break. It's more like Darwinism in action. Their post read:
"Last night in Belle Glade, a tragic crash occurred at the 5800 Block of Hatton Highway, resulting in multiple fatalities. Tragically, Fire Rescue confirmed 4 victims were pronounced deceased on the scene, and 6 were transported to a local hospital where 5 additional victims passed away. We have one survivor for a total of 10 victims. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families during this heartbreaking incident."
Sure, sure, your "thoughts and prayers." Meanwhile, the rest of us are wondering who let these people behind the wheel in the first place.
Now, the sheriff's office is playing detective, trying to figure out what caused the crash. Let me save you some time: it's called driver error.
If you can't drive, stay off the roads. And for the love of God, stay out of canals. They don't want you either.
