Flying Sausage Breaks Man's Nose
Tuesday, April 19, 2005
Beware of flying frozen sausages.
An Englishman learned that the hard way Monday afternoon, according to British wire services.
"He was driving his car when the offending item came through his open window and hit him on the nose," an ambulance-service spokesman told reporters.
The unnamed man, 46, had left work and was heading home to South Woodham Ferrers, Essex (search), east of London, when the meat missile entered his vehicle.
Despite having broken his nose, and losing a lot of blood, the driver declined to be taken to the hospital.
"It must have been an incredibly lucky, or unlucky, shot to get the sausage through a moving car window," commented the spokesman. "I have never seen or heard of anything like this before."
Police said they were looking into the incident.
