Runaway Lettuce Truck Lands in Man's Kitchen

Saturday, January 26, 2008

Associated Press

ST. GEORGE, Utah - A truck carrying boxes of lettuce drifted off an
interstate highway in southern Utah and didn't stop until it plowed into
a man's kitchen.

The Utah Highway Patrol identified the driver as Ernest King, a 54-year-
old Canadian whose body was taken to Salt Lake City for an autopsy.

Investigators believe King fell asleep at the wheel or had a medical
problem when he veered Thursday off northbound Interstate-15 eight miles
from the Arizona border.

Sgt. Dan Ferguson said King didn't hit the brakes or swerved once when
he left the highway, ran over a fence, hit three parked cars and crashed
into four units of a housing complex.

David Clark and a friend had just sat down in his kitchen when the truck
came crashing through a wall and stopped, Wendy Woolsey told The
Spectrum of St. George.

Clark and Woolsey survived with minor injuries.

Now there's inspiration for a country song if I ever heard it.

Hmm... their names fit too.
