SPIDER!

Please tell me I'm not the only one who finds this funny. Before you get yourselves in an uproar, I am not saying a woman crashing and totaling her vehicle is funny. It is certainly not funny at all. Thank the Lord she only received a minor scratch to her head. What I find funny is the very last line of this story. Look folks, this could happen to anyone. I can certainly see how a spider dropping out of nowhere could freak a person out and cause a wreck. But check out the last line... "There was no sign of the spider after the crash". Are you serious???? This person has a degree in journalism. This person is a professional news reporter and ends the story like that? What other stories has this journalist written? In other news, water is wet and the sun is hot. Are you joking? THERE WAS NO SIGN OF THE SPIDER AFTER THE CRASH????????? And what would they have done if they found the spider? Interviewed him? Arrested him? Sheesh! You have got to be kidding me. This no Podunk USA town. This is in Portland, Oregon. The largest city in the whole state!

Here's the story as it appeared in the newspaper...

PORTLAND, Ore. – Deputies say a spider is to blame for a rollover crash Wednesday morning in Northwest Portland’s Bonny Slope area.
The driver suffered a minor scratch on her hand, officials said.

She told deputies she was near the intersection of NW Thompson and McDaniel Roads when a spider dropped down from her rearview mirror.
She lost control and went off the road, rolling the car in a ditch. Sheriff's deputies said the car was totaled.

The Washington County Sheriff’s Office closed the road to one lane to handle the crash, which was about a half mile from Skyline Boulevard.
There was no sign of the spider after the crash.
