When you gotta go, YOU GOTTA GO

From the files of "Final Destination 4" is a story I heard on Indiana Public Radio this afternoon. Apparently, this guy crashed his truck into a bridge support or some such and went off the road at about 2 a.m., landing his truck, upside down, into a creek. The guy climbed out of his truck and managed to get up to the road, where he was apparently walking (presumably for help), when he was struck by the driver of a car. Before the driver could check on him, the guy was hit AGAIN by the driver of a van. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Don't get me wrong; I'm not ridiculing the guy. I feel sorry for his family and friends, and I can't imagine how awful this is (I am also hoping none of them will read this or I will feel really, really bad). But there's a certain grim ... humor? in it. I mean, this sounds like a story nobody would believe if you just sat down and wrote it. Just imagine, if you will:

Guy: *lose control*
Truck: CRASH. FALL, BANG, FLIP, LAND. SPLASH!
Guy: *struggle, struggle, struggle* I'm free! *climbs to road*
Death: I don't think so.
Car: WHAM!
Guy: Oh, shit-
Death: I SAID HOLD STILL.
Van: WHAM!
Guy: I see lights?
Death: Hiya.
