on the plus side she's going to have the silhouette of a smokin' hot babe on her forehead for the next few months.

Article says "19-year-old", but the URL says "girl". I think they got their facts wrong with the initial posting.

yeah, she's 19. her family names her here

Her father, Jose Cortes, did not wait for paramedics at the scene of the freak accident. He removed his shirt, stuffed it into her neck to control the bleeding and chose to drive his daughter to University Hospital in Newark, careening through the streets of two counties. Rita Cortes was listed in critical but stable condition.

and oddly - that article still says it was a muffler. gotta love the media and mixed signals

Viral marketing for Final Destination IV

Better than a hanging testicle to the forehead.

"Talk about mud flaps, my girl's got 'em."

"Wait, what does that say? If....move closer, dad....If you can read this, yOH MY GOD!"

The victim was 19 years old, not a nine year old girl subby.

You and New Jersey
You're perfect together

36 year-old with a 19 year-old daughter. Ouch.

At least it wasnt truck nuts.

swahnhennessy: 36 year-old with a 19 year-old daughter. Ouch.

That's life. At least he's taking care of his daughter

Was it one of those mud flaps with the naked female silhouette on it?

submittard trifecta complete.

It was a mudflap bracket/brace.. not actual mudflap.

Actua; mudflap would have been better

In my travels of roadside debris cleanup, I see a lot of big rig mudflaps and their heavy steel braces. I don't know what's causing them to break off so often, but the mudflap and retread industries do not have their shiat together.

This story has all kinds of 9's in it except for her real age.

/hot like a Looney Toon

The new thing is for farktards to take the frames used for real estate signs and place a few of them across the road. They have spiked bases.

Wonderful.

swahnhennessy: 36 year-old with a 19 year-old daughter. Ouch.

If this was back in the day it's be 24 year old parent with a 12 year old kid...

just sayin'

17 or 18 used to be considered a late age to start breedin'

I can't fault the subby, reading the article the (girl/woman) is (9/19) years old and was hit by a (muffler/mud flap/mudflap bracket), which came from the other side of the road via: (kicked up from another car/fell off a truck/came from a flying truck.)

that's some damn fine journalism, Lou.

When, 800 AD?

So I was driving down I-8 through southern California at night...

(somewhere near El Centro)

I was kinda zoned out in the long straight desert... and then SUDDENLY:

OFFICE CHAIR!!!

F*ckin swirved at 85 mph to miss it, which I did... I stopped, threw that biatch in reverse and backed up to the OFFICE CHAIR while on the shoulder.

I threw that hell beast from satan into the ditch, then continued on with a feeling of win.

/what?

Molavian: When, 800 AD?

ya, around that timeframe...

The headline is the article's fault: It started with 18 years old, edited to 9, and finally edited one more time with 19. Journalistic pride? Where?

In Australia, they have Ned Kelly "BACK OFF" mudflaps instead of Yosemite Sam.

Jamrock: swahnhennessy: 36 year-old with a 19 year-old daughter. Ouch.

And at least he's able to fark his daughter's hot and legal friends.

I'd have expected something more like this ....

Baby, this town rips the bones from your back
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap

Oh man, I laughed at that harder than I really should have! Thanks for sharing.

Reminds me of this story from the area recently. Some poor sap got killed by a piece of metal that flew through his windshield right into his head. I don't think they've found the source yet.

Scary stories, like when there was a spell of transport wheels flying off and crushing people's cars back before they tightened regulations in the 90s. Things are bad enough on the roads without worrying about flying random objects that could really f*ck up your day.

Amen, Brother.

"flew into the northbound lane and through the windshield of the family's 1997 white Honda Odyssey, said Sgt. John Taylor of the Kearny Police Traffic Division.
Kearny "
Oh it was a WHITE '97 honda odyssey i sense a hate crime.

As someone who almost got smashed by a piece of blown out tire yesterday, I'm getting a kick out of these replies...

/seriously.
//Happened to land right in front of me, bumped up my undercarriage. Didn't destroy my windshield/face like it could have...

kb7rky: submittard trifecta complete.

Glad I read TFA( and comments) before I commented here.

Oh, and today I saw a guy on a bike get run over by a car pulling out onto a street. It was one of those things at a 4 way when no one wants to go, so they both go, stop and get confused and wait for the other to make a move. Like that with taco shaped bicycle wheels and alot of road rash.

A friend of mine's sister was killed the first day of her honeymoon when a big rig's brake drum blew apart and a chunk of it came through the windshield. Wonder how much therapy the groom has had since...

This was momentarily a lot funnier when I briefly read that as "Ned Beatty".

Ryker's Peninsula: "Talk about mud flaps, my girl's got 'em."

You made my day.

sdmudd: The victim was 19 years old, not a nine year old girl subby.

Reading the article's comments, it would appear the article changed, not a case of subby messing up.

She wasn't the only victim...



/Ouch!

Twenty bucks says there's a "Mudflap Detach" button on the truck driver's dashboard for when butt-twangs like this guy drive too close.

19 year old girl woman teen thing

FTFA: "her father was driving north on Routes 1 & 9 "

Random trash flying through the windshield? Well what do you expect when you try to drive straddling two different roads?

How about at least reading the article subby.

Anyone else notice that her father was only 17 when she was born? Is it a bad thing that it sorta surprises me?

Road debris? In MY neck. It's more likely than you think

jerks took away my "lisa needs braces" comment

From the northbound lane, to southbound lane, through the window, nothin' but neck.

So was she 9 or 19? That's a pretty big difference.
