This Could be the Wildest Car-Crash Description You Ever See

“I felt like Chris Farley had come back to life,” is how the local anchor described what you’re about to see.
Meet Phoenix man George Lindell. He was driving down the road minding his own business Thursday when he was rear-ended by another driver. Sounds like a fairly ordinary accident. But just wait until you hear Lindell tell you the story. Not only did he get rear-ended, but the man who rear-ended him became trapped inside his SUV after he lost control of the vehicle, rolled over, and struck a utility pole.
Now that’s a little more incredible. But you still haven’t seen or heard Lindell describe it to KSAZ-TV. Why do you need to see it? Well, let’s give you a visual taste. It starts fairly normal, but quickly picks up:
“Well I was driving down Northern Ave,” he begins, “getting ready to run into Albertson’s, and all of a sudden I was just minding my own business – BAM! Hit me hard right from the back!…”
Here’s the rest for your viewing pleasure (two versions):

Posted on September 16, 2011 at 10:12amI heard of this crash yesterday on the local radio station.
I can imagine if this happened in DC:
“My God above it was HORRIBLE…”
“Sparks flying everywhere….”
“The world spinning around and around…”
“Lightning and fire and brimstone all about…”
“And the clouds of darkest smoke…”
“Molten Rock spreading all over the place…”
“Lights dancing all about…”
“Thunder shaking the place up…”
“And then came the scariest moment of all….”
“IT emerged from the sight….”
“OH THE HORROR…..”
“THE INDESCRIBABLE HORROR….”

I used to work testing electrical wires, I’ve seen this before, after a shock. In another factory I worked with robotic equipment, my supervisor was back-up maintenance & was working on the electronics of my machine with an assistant when I came in. The assistant let his screwdriver touch 2 different circuits, at once and was a dead ringer for this in describing it to me a few minutes later. Kind of an electrical shock-shock! They laughed and said he’d be normal by morning, but not likely to sleep for a couple of days.

Posted on September 16, 2011 at 10:49pmI think the journalist knew it was funny and kept trying to keep it going. It slowed down so that’s why he tried to reinvigorate the conversation with “what do you think is gonna happen?” BTW, we need to recruit this George Lindell to be our next president. He is the coolest cat on the planet.

I was a little surprised by his lack of concern for the other driver. But this was otherwise hilarious. I bet he is the life of the party! What was that thing on his head?
