Bizar accident

2007 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

(Translated to the best of my ability)

HOLSLOOT (Netherlands) - A 35 year old man from the city of Emmen died in an accident in Holsloot (Drenth province).

The victim collided at high speed against the 'metal safety separation - in the mid section of the highway (I don't know the English word for it)' and slid of the slope next to the road. Seemingly unhurt the man climbed out of the wreck and on top of the the slope. Without looking around he crossed the highway and was fatally hit by a passing car.

Does this qualify for a Darwin Award?

Hank, thanks for the story. If at first you don't succeed...

Maybe Toss: Lacks Excellence
Without more details I really don't find this story all that entertaining. There's no mention as to the cause of the accident (was he drunk, or did he swerve to avoid another car or something in the road?), and after getting shaken up by the accident he may have been been in shock and not even noticed the car that hit him.

As if crashing wasn't enough! He used his "Get out of Death, Free!" card when he hit the divider. He did not have another one handy when he stupidly decided to cross the highway without looking! Definite contender here! Thanks, Henk!
