Have you ever been driving on a highway and noticed items like mattresses, box springs or other large objects on the road or at the side of the road? If you’re like me you’re probably glad that you weren’t driving behind a vehicle when they lost those items, right?

Well, an elderly motorcyclist wasn’t so lucky. Last month a motorcycle rider was critically injured when a boxed bathtub fell off a pickup truck.

Wow, hit by a bathtub. That man will have a story to tell! When he was hit on a Louisiana interstate he was thrown from his bike and landed on the grass median. When helped arrived he was taken to a local hospital. I’m uncertain as to what his injuries were but I’d imagine that he’d have a few broken bones at the very least.

Naturally the pickup driver was charged with driving with an unsecured load and booked for negligent injury.

A Nevada woman believes she’s received a message from God … on a highway off ramp no less!

Carla Dupree, 29, gave birth to her fifth child after she pulled off a Reno freeway. She says that was a sign from God to not have any more children.

“I had him on the freeway,” she said. “This is the last one. God is telling me something.”

A drunk man who was running naked into highway traffic and subsequently caused three accidents has been arrested.

Two people stopped their cars and tried to help the 26 year old, Ardonas Gilbert of Chester P.A., who had been running naked along the southbound lanes of Interstate 95 this past Monday night. However Ardonas refused their help and allegedly cursed at them and tried to punch them says a Delaware State Police officer.

After hitting the people trying to help him, Gilbert then ran out into traffic and caused three separate accidents as motorists tried to avoid hitting the man. Luckily no one was seriously injured.

Gilbert was charged with two counts of assault and a single count of being drunk on a highway. What? No indecent exposure?

After leading a police chase that went on at 115 miles per hour and tossing beer cans out his window, William Joseph Galloway wrecked his pickup truck. After he wrecked his truck the man took another swig of beer and gave the deputies who’d been chasing him the middle finger.

According to the authorities Galloway told them he was going to die fighting and swinging, however the use of a taser put that threat to an end.

Galloway of Winter Park is now being held on $8,000 bail in the St. Johns County jail. He’s been charged with driving under the influence, driving with a suspended or revoked license, aggravated fleeing, attempting to elude and resisting arrest without violence. No one was hurt.

The chase began about 7:30 p.m. Tuesday when a Florida Highway Patrol trooper began following a pickup truck with no headlights heading north on Interstate 95 in Flagler County. Troopers and deputies watched the driver throw beer cans from his truck as he weaved through traffic at high speeds in heavy rain. The truck eventually spun off the road and crashed into a tree.

“The suspect rolled down his window and drank from a beer can while displaying his middle finger in defiance,” the report said.

When Galloway would not get out of the truck and started to reach for his glove box, a deputy fired a 15-second Taser stun gun burst, the report said.

Galloway told deputies he would have fought them all if he had not been jolted with the Taser, the report said.

Galloway passed out several times after telling officers he had been taking methamphetamine and drinking alcohol all day, the report said.

Why do a lot of these type of stories happen in Florida?
