You know the Darwin Awards. That's the posthumous award given to people who die doing something so downright stupid that they have helped raise overall intelligence. On Monday I saw a nominee, but he lived.
According to Yahoo! News, this 19-year old guy caused a three-car crash in a tunnel in Oregon. No one was killed but the driver that caused it was cited for reckless driving, three counts of reckless endangerment and fourth-degree assault. It seems he lost control of his car when he fainted. And why did he faint?
He was holding his breath.
Just like kids do when riding through a tunnel.
This tunnel, according to Yahoo! News, is only 772 feet long which means that at 55 mph it would take just 10 seconds to get through it.
All I can do is echo the State Police Officer who was quoted as saying:
"It's odd!"
