This is what happens when you mix driving with stupidity
Last night around midnight, two young girls were driving on the narrow two lane road past our farm. Big deal, you say? Well, they were going over 100 miles an hour and were probably drinking but I don't know that for sure. All I know is that they should thank the baby Jesus that they are still alive.
From what we can tell they were traveling at a high rate of speed when the driver last control. This first picture shows tracks across the lawn where they traveled quite a distance....Sideways.
Clicking on the picture enlarges image...
Notice that they just missed the mailbox post and several trees. Oh yeah, and on the left hand side of the picture there is a red reflector that marks a culvert which they missed as well. I think if they would have hit that they would have flipped the car.
They continued on sideways until they reached the corral...
The car had already been removed by the time I took this picture. Here they crashed through two calf hutches (which luckily didn't contain any calves), and slid through the fence into a rather large pile of manure.
Right next to these calf hutches had also been a propane tank which was also removed by the time I took this picture. That would have been quite a sight (and sound) if they would have hit that tank.
This last picture also shows the double fence post that they missed as well. As far as I know both girls were alright and the car was damaged but not totaled. Actually, landing in the manure was probably the best thing that could have happened.
I, for one, find it very funny and ironic that they landed in a big pile of shit. It serves 'em right!

I thought that was ironic as well. Not to mention hilarious!
I'm just glad that it happened in the middle of the night and not during the day. Can you imagine what could have happened if someone was in the yard or by the corral? **shudder**

just out of curiousity, were they both blondes? You know the whole gas/ brake thing may have had them confused...

That's rich. Serves 'em right. (Besides the fact that they're lucky to be alive.)
