Scary Motorcycle Crash Injures One on Long Curved Loop 306 Overpass

 

SAN ANGELO, TX – A motorcyclist apparently escaped serious injury Friday afternoon after a crash on the long, curving overpass where Loop 306 east turns back toward San Angelo onto U.S. 87 at Ben Ficklin Rd. 

Scanner reports indicate the driver may have suffered an injury to an arm in the 4:30 p.m. crash. 

Initial reports indicate the motorcycle was the only vehicle involved in the crash. 

Police and first responders blocked the bridge while they investigated the crash and cleared the scene. 

Because the crash occurred near the center of the one-way overpass, reporters at the scene weren't able to get an official statement from investigating officers. 

The ambulance on the scene drove away from the scene without emergency lights and there is no information available at this time on the condition of the operator or the cause of the crash.

Whew... That scary story just scared me to even read about that scary crash.... Now I'm scared to read any more scary stories written by this scary news service......

I'm not sure what Doc's real last name is, but I'm pretty sure Richard Edward is his given name.

Even though it's long since fallen out of favor, I'm sure most people would know him by the curtailed 'nick name' versions of the givens.

You have to have a very high IQ to understand Dr. Ding-bat. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical reader's head. There's also Ding-bat's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his comments - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny - they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Dr. Ding-bat truly ARE idiots - of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humor in Ding-bat's existential catchphrase "Publish some news about San Angelo," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Ding-bat's genius wit unfolds itself on their screens. What fools.. how I pity them. XD

And yes, by the way, I DO have a Dr. Ding-bat tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only - and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel B)
