BLOODY NORA! What a freak accident.
Take it easy, take it easy, don't let the sound of your old wheels drive you crazy.

A freak survival is closer to the truth :-?
A Newark man is lucky to be alive, officials say, after crashing his four-wheeler into Raccoon Creek off a 40-foot bridge to avoid an oncoming train.
Now if he hadn't been where he shouldn't have been then the story would never have happened.

The mind boggles :o

He is very very luckt to survive! Looking at his buggy thing or whatever that is, there isn't any protection at all unlike a car or truck where if he fell upside down, the roof would absorb a bit of the impact! :o
