I’m glad the paramedics showed up and that they weren’t left for dead. ---

That’s awesome. Well, it’s not awesome that people got in a car accident, but the article is pretty funny. It’s nice to see a cop with a sense of humor (Sgt. Stewart, I want you when I get pulled over… I’ve got a few good ones you might enjoy… and maybe you’ll let me off the hook…) ---

There was a guy who crashed on his way to one of the zombie things in Pittsburgh. He had a couple gallon sized jugs of fake blood in the back that hit the windshield and burst. As he was talking to the paramedics trying to explain it all they were not buying it. He was hurt and pretty bad ------ just no open wounds; which was all they seemed interested in trying to find. ---

Well, it is Portland, Oregon, and the story did originate from a KGW television writer. 😃 ---
