Coyote Struck, Travels to California
Daniel East and his sister, Tevyn were traveling on Interstate 80 near the Utah-Nevada border when a coyote ran in front of the car. They hit the animal, but kept driving as they assumed it was dead. Eight to ten hours later, they stopped in California and noticed the coyote was stuck in the car’s grill! They called the Wildlife Rehabilitation and Release office in Penn Valley, which sent a volunteer.
Jan Crowell, a rehabilitation center volunteer, said she brought a catch pole, an animal carrier, gloves and blankets.
When she arrived, East and his sister were taking the screws out of the car’s grill in an effort to get the animal out. Once the grill was pulled forward, the coyote poked its head out.
“No broken bones, no internal injuries — nothing,” Daniel East said, adding that the animal only had a few scrapes on one of his paws.
The coyote was kept at the center until it escaped on its own. Link -via Arbroath

Man Bobbitized in Car Accident
Sin Chew Daily (coincidence? I. Don’t. Think. So) and China Press reported a bizarre car accident that led to a man being Bobbitized in Singapore:
The daily reported that the incident occurred in a Singapore park where the couple met after work. To make matters worse for the woman, her husband had sent a private investigator to spy on her after suspecting that she was being unfaithful. The investigator said he had followed the woman and her boss to the park.
“On reaching the park, they did not alight from the car. Not long after, the car started to shake violently. After the car was hit by the van, there was a loud scream from the woman whose mouth was covered with blood,” he said. The woman later followed her lover to the hospital with part of the sexual organ.

Dangling Over A Bridge
Truck driver Zhian Feng went over the side of a bridge in Chengdu, China. The truck was left dangling by the bumper, only inches away from tumbling 100 feet to the ground below!
Witness Lu Wi said: ‘We heard an amazing bang and went out to see what was happening.
‘We saw a lorry hanging over the bridge, and a man in his 40s struggling to climb out.
‘When he got out the driver said he was lucky he had his seat belt on or he’d have fallen straight out of his open window.’

Google Street View Car Hits a Bridge
When driving, always keep your eye on the road and NOT on the camera! Google Street View uploaded a scene near Pittsburgh of a bridge, then a closeup, then the camera goes wildly awry. The simplest explanation is that the Street View driver hit the concrete bridge. Gawker has a video of the process, recorded from Google Street View, plus a link to the original if you want to explore more. Link -via Unique Daily

Dump Truck in Awkward Position
Truck driver Freddie Mitchell delivered a load of dirt to an interstate construction site and left with an empty dump truck near Talcottville, Connecticut. He entered the highway without realizing his dump body was still in the upright position. The truck soon struck an overhead sign. The sign didn’t budge, the dump body was caught, and the truck cab lifted 20 feet into the air!
Mitchell remained there until Vernon firefighters, using a ladder-tower truck, rescued him about 10:20 a.m. Mitchell was not injured, authorities said, but was taken to Hartford Hospital to be checked.
“He was fairly calm,” said Vernon fire Lt. Michael Levasseur, who helped rescue Mitchell. “He had the presence of mind to do what we were telling him and to stay still till we got him out of there.”

Fireball Teenager Regrows His Skin, Minus the Freckles
Teenager, Aiden Kelly who got caught in in a fireball after a friend stupidly threw an aerosol can on a campfire, has regrown his skin without any scarring. The only difference? The redhead’s distinctive freckles didn’t return!
The 40 year mother of two said: ‘After it happened it looked like all his flesh was falling off. It was absolutely horrendous, he didn’t have any skin left on his nose.
‘Now he’s absolutely fine. He’s even lost his freckles which he is really pleased about,’

Bungee Cord Breaks
49-year-old Mark Afforde couldn’t resist a second bungee jump from the 200-foot high Canyon Creek Bridge near Yacolt, Washington. At the bottom of the drop, the bungee cord snapped, and he fell the last 25 feet into shallow water.
“I was just along for the ride. I had no idea what was going on,” he said.
“I heard and saw the snap. I definitely felt the impact, and I was underwater. Once I checked and made certain I could still move and everything was working I felt I needed to get out of the water.
He was able to walk to shore, and paramedics took him to Southwest Washington Medical Center in Vancouver.
Afforde, who was not seriously injured, says he would bungee jump again. He wife feels differently. Link -via Arbroath
PS: He was on an outing with his co-workers from Boeing. Leave your puns in the comments.

Man Has Surgery to Reattach His Hand. For The Second Time!
It’s a fairly rare thing to be clumsy enough to cut off your hand, and I’m sure it’s even rarer to do it twice.
That’s what happened to New Zealand meatpacker Bryan Speers. While cutting meat with a band saw, he slipped and accidentally severed his left hand. He was rushed to hospital where the attempt to reattach his limb was hindered by scarring from a previous operation to attach the same hand after a previous accident!
Eventually surgeons did manage to successfully reattach his hand, and while he is expected to make a recovery, he will have to remain in hospital for quite a while while he regains the usage of his hand.

Amusement Ride Accidents
Who doesn’t love going to an amusement park? There is no comparing the thrill you get from such a controlled environment. There is that off chance though that something could go wrong.
The blog below tells, in great details, every amusement ride accident dating back to 1998. There are roller coaster derailments, inflatable bounce castles blowing away with people still inside, and the county fair rides that were just not put together right, it’s all there.
I promise that you will be amazed and a little creeped out by how many of these "incidents" occur but you never hear a word.

Car Crashes Into Church Roof
In Germany, a speeding car missed a turn, and flew an amazing distance to crash into the roof of a nearby church.
The bank acted like a springboard, propelling the black Skoda about 35 meters (115 ft) forward and straight into the church’s roof frame, where it remained wedged 7 meters off the ground, police said in a statement.

Sam Alexander, the Man with Two Faces
J.Tithonus Pednaud of The Human Marvels blog has an intriguing post about Sam Alexander, the Man with Two Faces:
Although the details are a little sketchy, Sam was ultimately involved in a huge gasoline explosion that was the result of his own carelessness. While he was able to instinctively save his eyes by raising his arm, he received deed burns around his lips and lower face. Even more unfortunately his wounds festered and became severely infected. Doctors were forced to remove much of his lover face and lips, practically to the bone. As a result, Same Alexander was left with a permanent and disturbing teeth-gnashing grimace and a gruesome visage. [...]
Billed as ‘The Man with Two Faces’, Sam’s exhibition consisted primarily of a stage monologue detailing his story. Sam was a soft-spoken man with a gentle manner and soothing voice. He so lulled the crowd with his tale of heartbreak that when he revealed his face in a surprising flourish, people screamed and women cried. His showcase was so disturbing that Kortes made Sam the Blow Off attraction, an extra attraction patrons had to pay a premium to see and he was sincerely billed as ‘not for the weak of heart’. At more than one venue, Sam Alexander was paid not to perform.

Hero Dog Risked Life to Save Another Dog
This went ’round the Web about a few days ago, but I just found out about it: here’s a YouTube clip of a dog risking its life to save its friend who was ran over by a car.
Translation: "These images seen from the surveillance cameras show a very common situation with our overpopulated highways. It is normal for us to see dogs run over. In the video, we can see this dog fighting for his life because he was run over by the vehicle.
"What is very touching is to see the very heroic actions of this other dog who is trying to pull him to the side of the highway. We are going to keep seeing things like this until we find a solution to the dogs living on the streets."
