Sleeping Man Kills Sleeping Man

We had a story here in San Diego last week where a man (allegedly) fell asleep at the wheel of his car and ran off the road. The car hit a boulder and flew into a bunch of trees where a homeless man was sleeping, killing the poor fellow. The driver suffered only minor injuries.

Odd detail: "The car was launched about 65 feet in the air after striking the boulder." In case you wondered if THAT ever happened.

Odd fact: On the topic of "unlikely (and unfair) but true" it reminds us that drunks and sleeping people are less likely to be hurt in a car accident.
