I gotta say, this is the best story I’ve read all week. After finishing it, I laughed like a lunatic. This is one of the stories if someone told you about it, you’d think you were getting a plate full of cow dung.

Posted tonight at io9, this is a true story that happened recently involving a carload of zombies on their way to a party. Evidently, the dead don’t drive too well because the car somehow lost control and rolled. Thankfully, none of the people were injured.

And yes .. this is where hilarity ensues. From the article:

Sgt. Greg Stewart said people who witnessed the crash initially thought the victims’ injuries were much more serious, because of the zombie costumes.

“We’re glad that everyone is alive, despite being ‘undead’,” Sgt. Stewart said, referring to the costumes.

Can you imagine the face of the first rescuer to arrive at the scene and find zombies milling around the site of the accident. If I was a cop at the time, I would have pulled my gun and started to fire. You can never be too safe. In any case, I’m glad no one was hurt although I bet some of the rescue personal hit the bar hard that night.
