Gerbil's escape from cage blamed for accident Wednesday, June 18, 2008 SPRINGVILLE, Utah - Police say a teenage driver who lost control of her car while scrambling to capture her pet gerbil wasn't cited for an accident that hospitalized two people. Lt. Dave Caron said the gerbil escaped from its cage while the 17-year-old driver was southbound on state Route 51 Tuesday morning. Making a grab for the fuzzy escape artist, the driver veered off the road and hit a stranded truck hooked to another truck by jumper cables. The impact pushed the two trucks together, pinning a woman in between. She suffered a broken leg. A male co-worker helping the woman with her truck also suffered a broken leg. Both were taken to a Utah County hospital. Neither the teen nor her gerbil were hurt. |
This is a real article sent to me by my internet provider. It was in their random news stories.
Should the gerbil be charged with reckless endangerment? Or is the girl at fault for driving with a rodent in the vehicle? Could it be the fault of the stranded truck driver?
Please discuss.
