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.
How many times have you heard stories about criminals that have done some stupid everyday kind of thing that ends up being what gets them caught? I know I’ve written enough stories like that here on Odd Planet!
You know the ones that have expired tags on their vehicles or a broken tail light? Basically minor traffic infractions that end up getting them caught for major crimes!
Once such criminal is Larenzo Dixon, 22 of San Diego. He was arrest in March at a downtown transit station during a police crackdown on jaywalkers.
A routine check of the illegal jaywalker turned up a murder warrant on Dixon from Louisiana.
It’s an odd coincidence in Shreveport, LA hospital. Thirteen nurses from the new born intensive care unit are having babies.
An NICU nurse, Joyce Smith, who’s worked at the Christus Schumpert Sutton Children’s Medical Center for nearly 30 years says “they’re warning the staff there must be something in the water”.
The hospitals depart has of course had pregnant staff before, but never so many at one time. Two of the 13 women have already given birth, one is a new foster mom, and ten more are expecting.
Kerry Tynes, an Obstetrician says the pregnant nurses are keeping him on his toes.
Well good luck to the ladies. I hope that none of their children needs the services that the department they work in provides!
