What a wreck!

No, they didn’t let Tim Allen loose with the heavy equipment again! 20 year old Alex Habay was minding his own business, waiting for a traffic light to change, when his rear window exploded and his car moved forward 20 feet. It seems the cable holding a wrecking ball snapped, launching the ball which then traveled 3/4 of a mile, landing in the trunk of Habay’s Taurus. The impact pushed the car into the car in front, causing a 3 car chain reaction!

Thanks to the American propensity for initiating lawsuits, one can assume that Habay’s financial windfall will last longer than his whiplash.

I know I’m gonna get in trouble for this but I just couldn’t help myself….

I just realized how surprised the crane operator’s wife was when he got home. “Honey, there was an accident today. I lost one of my balls.”

Then she said, “Oh Honey, are you OK?”

Then he replies, “Oh that’s nothing, just wait until you see the guys rearend on the news tonight!”
