Subscribe to RSSTwo teen girls were struck by a car after they dozed off while sunbathing on a rural road in Pennsylvania on Sunday afternoon, family members told NBC station WPXI-TV in Pittsburgh.
The girls, both 13, were taken by helicopter to Children’s Hospital in Pittsburgh, where they were expected to recover.
Andrea Kunicky, a spokeswoman for the hospital, told msnbc.com on Monday that the girls were in good condition.
Police told WTAE-TV that Samantha Schermanhorn and Kaylie George were sunbathing on the road when a 19-year-old male cousin of Schermanhorn made a turn at a stop sign and hit the girls. The name of the driver has not been released.
Though he was questioned by police, it was unclear if he would be charged. Economy Borough police were investigating the case. The sergeant in charge of the investigation was not immediately available for comment to msnbc.com.
Nicole and Nicholas Beck, who identified their brother as the driver, told WTAE that it was “just an accident.”

Wow. The level of stupidity involved here is incredible.
Darwin?
I agree with both of you. These girls should be on the next Dumber and Dumber type movie. I would give them a Darwin Honorable Mention because they are still alive. Their parents need to keep them inside and buy them a spray tan booth.
In addition; suntans are nice but it destroys your skin and you will look like a prune by the time you are 50 or 50 years old, let alone you will likely get melanoma. I see it over and over.
Stupid. Just plain stupid. Too bad their genes remain in the gene pool.
What on earth could this man possibly be charged with? Driving With Retarded Teenagers Nearby?
He was likely speeding, ignoring stop signs, not watching the road, etc. if this is anything like the rural roads in the rural areas I've lived at. When you're one of only a couple people who use a road, you get into the habit of disregarding traffic laws and posted signs. It's a real problem when the farmers come to town and forget how to interact with other people and follow the rules -- or when something unexpected happens like two teens sunbathing on a road that ordinarily would have been completely empty all day.
How stupid can you get. It was a road not a field. Next time dumb and dumber will probably sun bathe in a field where there are bulls.
You know you're a redneck....?
Okay, I am really really trying to understand this. Number one, outdoor tanning, location Pennsylvania, in April. Number Two, outdoor tanning in the middle of the street. Number three, cousin turns the corner and runs them over (bet he was texting). Number four, they live to reproduce the next generation of stupid.
I'm thinking there are a few things we aren't being told about their beauty regimen. Hair removal with a weed whacker. Moisturizing with cow manure. Makeup application with a wire brush. ShopVac liposuction and silicone caulk breast enhancement.
They aint gonna gits no man with their brains so might as well look gooder. YeeHaw.
Dereck
Problem with rednecks? I know a lot of rednecks, and NONE of them are this stupid.
Cameron
Gotta love the speculation on your part, you have no information other than two kids on a road and someone hit them, and already you have all the answers. If you're that psychic why aren't you winning the lotto every week?
Chris
If this were in Colorado that would be a real possibility.
Browns
I see you're no brighter than Dereck
MrEd7451, the story said it was a rural road. I was relating my experiences with rural roads. That's not speculation. The fact is that people who use rural roads routinely become careless in their driving habits.
No doubt the family will be infuriated the driver didn't see them. Just as surprised if they tried it on train tracks and got hit by a train.
Like what? staying on the roadway? Yet you see no issue with lying down in the roadway? Those girls were idiots or suicidal.
Have you SEEN some of the recent reality shows? But on a serious note, these kids need a major infusion of common sense. Lack of that item isn't limited by geographical region.
Cameron
He was likely..... speculation. And because you choose to ignore the rules of the road simply because you're on a rural road doesn't mean we all do, or that the driver in this case does. Speculation, the quickest way in the world to make yourself look foolish. I'm not saying that you might not be right, but apparently the police haven't seen any of that of he would have been charged.
Seriously...there are no words!
It was a rural road. Most likely they see little if any traffic. So the teens got careless and thought they could sun bathe there. Teens are not really all there you know. 12-13 year old are children and children make mistakes.
I am just so taken aback by the amount of hatred and vitriol in these comments. What is happening to people ? You are all turning into hate/anger filled ogres. Just take a deep breath and think about it guys.
you know I run into this sort of thing all the time with kids hanging out in the streets,U would think they would know that a 3500 pound car is not something U want to come in to contact with.
Aah so I can justify despising the entire North East United States because of shows like Jersey Shore and hate other places like Beverly Hills because their women are scags according to House Wives of Beverly Hills?
Assume much?
Browns Backer - Yesterday was a nice, sunny warm day here in the part of PA where this happened.
In rural Western Pennsylvanian area, the road is usually the only place the sun can get through the trees, thus the attraction of the girls wanting to get some sun.
It is also extremely hilly and winding around here, so limited visibility on the part of the driver, or the inability to quickly stop due to coming down a hill on a dirt road seems likely to me, possibly going a little too fast is certainly a possibility.
Still stupid, but some roads around me might only see one or two cars a day, usually the people that live there.
MrEd7451 lays claim to being smart and doesn't get the reference.
The biggest curse, MrEd, is not knowing who you are, and sadly, you don't.
Moving on to people with a bit more than no sense of humor now. Bye.
R.Scalzo
Actually I have better things to do than watch 'reality' tv, it is anything but reality. Add to that the fact that the writers and directors script the shows... well you can guess how real any of it is.
Derek
Don't know where you got that from but I am at least smart enough to not jump to conclusions with little or no real information.
I don't know who I am?? Please, enlighten me, as you seem to think you have all the answers.
Humor? You find humor in a near tragedy? Well I guess we know a bit more about who/what you are.
Guiiiisee, they said 'rural road'
They're brother is probably one of the few people who ever uses that road.
Whoops.
OKAY PEOPLE!!!!
They were sunbathing IN THE ROAD!! The only one guilty of anything is the teen-aged girls. ON several levels. I don't care WHAT the boy was doing. They were in the ROAD!!!
Maybe next time they should sun bath on a railroad track. At least then we won't blame the train engineer!!!!
Mr. Ford -
You have no facts from which to draw conclusions. Quit bragging on your ignorance.
He was probably their double cousin.

No, Really??
@Sick of the Situation:
I've lived my whole life in western Pennsylvania, and I'm familiar with that part of Beaver County where this took place. Unless you head to the mountains, places like the Forbes State Forest, you don't find tree cover so thick that the only places the sun shines is on the road. Economy Borough is not excatly the state forest; it is suburban in nature. It is on the edge of the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. There are plenty of subdivistions, some farms, and yes, some forested areas. There is plenty of grass for these girls to sunbathe. Take a look on Google Earth, and pretty much every home has a lawn. This is just plain stupidity. When I was a kid, we played ball on the rural suburban roads, but we moved aside when a car came. Lying there in the sun, you're not seeing cars coming, or getting up and moving aside for them.
As far as their cousin is concerned, perhaps he should have seen them there. The cops will determine that. As it says, the investigation is ongoing. Either he was so stupid, or distracted, that he should have seen them but didn't, or they were laying around a blind corner or over a blind hilltop where he couldn't see them in time. If it was the former, then it was his stupidity. If it was the latter, then all the more stupidity for the girls, to be laying there in a place where drivers could not see them. Regardless, stupidity seems to run in that family.
I saw this headline and my immediate thought was: "What the h--- were they doing sunbathing in the road?!" Stupid and stupider (yes, I know, that isn't a word).
Did they not have parental units to tell them about 10 years ago... " Get the hell out of the middle of the street before you get hit by a car!!!!!"? I did and more than 50 years later I stay out of the middle of the street and have yet to get hit by a car.
Really? You wish two 13 year old girls had been KILLED?
You make me sick. Learn some compassion you defective freak.
Cameron..."The fact is that people who use rural roads frequently become...." Please site your source. I would claim the later. Rural roads require a lot of attention due to rocks, animals, ruts, potholes, etc...In this case...uh, girls. Rural roads don't contribute to bad driving habits....Where did you learn to drive? On the freeway...great. The girls should qualify for Spikes 1000 ways to die....well, I guess not...they didn't die. I'm glad that they are ok, but Cameron, you, Sunshine, are opinionated with nothing to back it up. Don't give us a piece of your mind unless you can spare it.
I have to agree with a lot of the comments. It was not very bright of the girls to be sunbathing on a rural road. But i don't think they deserve to die. And while I'm at it where was there parents to allow them to sunbathe there in the first place?
The article said he "made a turn at the stop sign and hit the girls," so we can't really determine if he stopped or not. Either way, they were in the wrong....who in their right mind would lie (or is it "lay"..never get those right) in the middle of a road....even a rural road....to sunbathe? I mean, really????
That's an idea, Lady Cat. We could come up w/ a new sport----Extreme Sunbathing. Think of the adrenaline rush, applying sun tan oil while dodging the bulls, how long can they stay in the ring before having to scale the walls to avoid being trampled, etc. Think of all the other extreme sports that could incorporate sunbathing, applying sun tan oil while skateboarding, base jumping, whatever. This could be the next Up & Coming Thing.
HAHAHA! Y'all collapsed my comment! Too funny, wazzamatta? Don't like when someone points out your ignorance?
What a bunch of nonsense! This is funny! The girls didn't die were probably more scared than anything and they should have been! The only thing I can think of that would be less bright in a rual area would be to sunbathe in a field. If they were asleep would they hear the combine?
Let's see. He slows, makes a turn, and runs over two girls SLEEPING on the road - and the cops are unsure if he is at fault. Sounds like Bubba and Jethro haven't got as much common sense as Barney. Maybe the girls should be taken to jail for "jaysleeping".
Violation of the Basic Rule could be appropriate. Do not run over your cousins. It limits the breeding options that carry on the gene pool.
Like Frogger! With humans.
I'm not sure why Cameron Ford's posts are being collapsed (although collapsing posts that are contrary to your beliefs seem to be very popular right now in Newsvine) but what he said is absolutely correct. Anyone who has lived in a VERY rural area knows that there are some roads that service only one or two homes. I lived on one such road myself, we joked that the road was like our own private driveway, even though it had speed limit and other signs, it was only used by our family and our ONE neighbor's house.
Now granted, laying in the road and falling asleep is a pretty dumb thing to do, you could only feel safe about doing something like that if you knew the road was closed to all traffic, and even then....
But rural life is a lot different than most suburbanites or city dwellers even realize. It can be a real culture shock when you realize you can leave your doors unlocked, let your dogs roam free, and even as Cameron mentioned, ignore stop signs when you can clearly see there isn't another soul within 10 miles of you in any direction.
When you are driving on rural roads, common sense is the only rule. If it's a long stretch of road with no blind spots, you can feel safe driving a little faster, but if it's a small one lane road, with twists and turns, you need to drive slower because you never know what's going to pop up. On the road I lived on, both my family and my neighbors knew to drive very slowly on this one lane dirt road because if you didn't you would be libel to hit something, including a car coming the opposite direction (which was rare, but sometimes happened)
Now, what's the deal with all the post collapsing in Newsvine, especially when it comes to political stuff. All someone has to do is mention a certain politician's NAME and the post gets collapsed. For all you people spouting off about American's rights to own guns and freedom of speech, take your own words to heart and allow for opposing viewpoints as long as they are not abusive or break any laws. Are you own opinions so flimsy that you feel the need to silence any opposing viewpoint?!?!?
think this answers...that age old question...why don't we do it in the road...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_uKf732RU8
Dumbasses!!!
Thinning the herd.
I dont even hit road kill when its flattened like a pizza, I guess there's not to many good drivers like me,
I also stop to look at a pretty girl.
You go to a Family Reunion - to pickup Chicks!
When a girl gets her 1st training bra, carton of Marlboro's - and birth control pills on the same, 13th, Birthday.
Rather than a tan they got road rash.........!! Need a sign like we have for deer except for sun bathing girls I guess!!!
I can see it now. Mandatory warnings. CAUTION !! SLOW!! Stupid teenage girls sun bathing and sleeping in the roadway ahead!!
This just happened in Michigan, three weeks ago. Two girls were sitting and lying down in a road. They were warned by someone who took the time to stop and tell them to get out of the road. They ignored the warning, and were killed. Do kids think they are like the video game "Frogger", and they have other lives after being run over once?
Leave the girls alone! They were just taking a break from playing hopscotch on a busy freeway!
Is stupid spelled with a capital S or a little s.
But they were just exercising their "right" to sunbathe when and where they wanted to...........
Cameron Ford, in post # 1.10, said
Well, Cameron, I have a lot of experience driving in cities, and the great majority (estimate at least 70%) of city drivers I have seen drive recklessly -- as though they were entered in/practicing for the Gran Prix race circuit. I'm sure you know what I am talking about: Changing lanes four or five times within a mile-and-a-half, without ever using a turn signal; weaving back and forth from lane to lane, while driving AT LEAST 15 miles an hour faster than the posted speed limit; following the vehicle ahead of them with less than 5 feet between the leading vehicle's rear bumper and the city driver's front bumper; changing lanes multiple times within the space of that afore-mentioned mile-and-a-half, passing up to fifteen vehicles -- and then immediately cutting across two or more lanes of heavy traffic to take the exit off the freeway. There are many more examples of city driving.............
Every time I have to drive in city traffic, Cameron, I am extremely tempted to take out another insurance policy just for that one day. I'll take the rural roads, with the rural drivers, any day.
Sick Of The Situation, in post #1.19, said
I have lived in and visited places where the road is often the only place the sun can get through -- yet we never used the road for sunbathing. We used a nearby, handy farm field, instead. Oh, we also used the roof of the house, or the driveway. NEVER the road.
that must be some very remote road, they just happened to get run over by their cousin. I can't understand them allowing themselves to fall asleep on a road that gets any kind of traffic whatsoever. Oh well, isn't it amazing how people can get into a fight over the internet arguing over how stupid two g13yo girls are. Age truly does not bring wisdom to all
Derek-381097
When there are more than five vehicles in your yard - and only one of them is drivable, let alone "street legal"!
When your mother has more tatoos than you do!
When your mother, your brother, your sister, your uncle and yourself combined have a full set of teeth!
So many more.........and yes, I have been a real redneck: WORKING outdoors, getting my neck sunburned (sunburn - RED neck).
"puff","puff"..... The last thing they heard was the most used word in the 60's and that word was ear. holding their breath and saying..... EAR.
Next generation Democratic voters. Wow, how stupid can you be?
Wow. Alot of people on here evidently don't feel they have any responsiblitlity to pay attention to the road around them while they drive. No doubt the girls did a stupid thing, but a driver of a motor vehicle is responsible for identifying and avoiding potential hazards in the roadway. I don't know about the rest of you but It's been over 20 years since I began driving and I still remember the lesson about not hitting a cardboard box in the roadway because there just might be a child inside the box. If the driver hit not 1 but 2 girls lying in the road way he couldn't have been doing a very accurate or good job of scanning the roadway for potential hazards and obstacles. I go around pieces of wood in the road in case they have nails in them. I have a hard time believing that I wouldn't see 2 human beings on the road unless I was screwing around and not paying attention to the road around me. We live in an area with miles and miles of rural roads and you have to pay attention as you never know when livestock, wildlife, or the occasional farm worker might be around the next bend or hill. Driving a 3000 ton instrument of instant death does still come with some responsibilities.
Too funny, you all bought the kids' story...who knows what really happened. Thank goodness all three are ok. They are children, People. I was a silly country girl too and we never fell asleep sunbathing in the road, though we did spend a lot of time on the roads wandering hither and non.....it doesn't add up.
But the story was clearly written to maximize the hilarity factor....
MrEd -
That was a horse, of course of a different color.
Robert, Too Funny.....Ear, oh, I'm alone!
Hey, the driver paid his taxes to use that road. The sunbathers didn't.
Alan290 said,
I'm thinking they won't have to worry about that because the likelihood that these two make it 50 years old, seems pretty improbable!
Chris-629698
What on earth could this man possibly be charged with? Driving With Retarded Teenagers Nearby?
-----------------------
I see your pt but he obviously wasn't paying attention either so it sounds like some negligence on his part too.
@alan290 - Their parents needs to keep them indoors and buy them tubal ligations! These two are too stupid for words!
@rkb5555 - What I find amusing is that likelihood that, this sounding to be a largely unused rural road, the cousin was probably the only one to come along! He may have been trying to scare them and accidentally hit them. The stupid in this family remains undiluted. Get him fixed, too.
Teens do stupid things......they are teens. The guy driving the car thought they would get up when he drove at them. They didn't, they thought he would stop.....he didn't. Now they say they fell alseep to cover for the guy..........Teens.......New movie coming out, "Beach Blanket Highway."
I am in NO way condoning or approving of the girls behavior but someone came close to my thoughts when they mentioned the location and time of year.. Perhaps it was a bit chilly and the road was warm? The warmth also could have made them sleepy.. They probably had no intention of dozing in the road.. They knew they were taking a chance too... Kids get a thrill taking chances..
Are you on crack?
No Max Lakritz not on crack... In crack.. Yer mamma's crack! @!$%#.
Stupid is as Stupid does Ms. Blue
Natural selection just gave them a warning poke.
Geez!!!
"If you've ever been run over while sunbathing in the middle of the road... "
You KNOW Jeff Foxworthy is going to be all over this!! Or Bill Engval will turn it into a "Here's your sign" joke. Just wait for it.
Ban all cars. Problem solved.
Ban sunbathing. It causes cancer, road rash, and other health hazards.
Charge the parents....they failed to teach those two kids that laying in the road is a BAD IDEA....
a failure on the parents part...
You would think it would be obvious. Up there with don't point a loaded gun at your head and pull the trigger.
Seriously? BS. Parents cannot teach their children everything, and I am sure their parents told them not to play in the street or be careful in or around the street when they were children. At some point common sense has to kick in. These girls obviously don't have any common sense. They will probably be dead by the time they are 40 for some stupid reason. Probably texting on their cellphone or some boneheaded reason like it.
I guess you listened to your parents about everything when you were 13?
I'm laughing out loud right now. It never occurred to me that I should say to my 13 year old children, "Don't get in the car with strangers, don't run with scissors, and uh, OH, don't sunbathe in the middle of a road."
Yeah, I think at the age of 13 a kid has a pretty good idea what an automobile is, and what roads are used for.
You really need to go to the store and read the warning labels on some of the products on the shelves. If you think "x" is really stupid, it is probably in the warnings somewhere because some real genius has tried "x", then sued the manufacturer and won.
If you think you can't sue the train engineer and the railroad for running into or over someone, you need to join the Rail Mishaps list at Yahoo.com. Then you will get a major dose of "reality."
Bob in KC. I know what you're saying. I read on my liquid foundation bottle the warning, "Not for use on children under 6 months of age". Wow, I'm glad I read that before I slathered my grandbaby with makeup.
They are used to have only horse drawn buggies come by on those rural roads so the drivers have plenty of time to react to sunbathers. Seriously, hopefully the girls will recover completely and without complications.
Yeah, hoof prints are better than tire marks anytime..
Too true!
Southern Beaver County is not Amish country. You have to go a little further north for that.
Pennsylvania - RED STATE educations...enough said !
Wow, a whole 5 comments before someone turns this political, eh?
Ok, Mister Fids: I'm from PA, and have a PhD in Computational and Theoretical Chemistry, and am currently working as a postdoc at a national lab studying corrosion science of nuclear reactors. What kind of education do you have?
Apparently your level of education is poor Mister Fids because PA has been a blue state for every Presidential election since 1992.
LOL good for you Matt....
politics"fid"??....in this article...?....really??.... you get my D.A. post of the day award...................congradulations.
Matt-3468366,
Well looky there. Matt has a degree. I have one too. Do you want a medal or a chest to pin it on?
Sorry Mr. Pip but Pennsylvania is a BLUE State, it was a Obama state in 2008.
But I guess your showing us the value of your BLUE state education!
This happened in a RED County in PA. Western PA is like West Virginia. I's reckon deys ain't knot tha brite-est peep poles in tha world.
Since you want to bring up education, David, the proper phrase would be "an" Obama state...not "a" Obama state.
Yeah, but most of those rural areas are all RED. The kid drivin' probably got his book learnin' from ma and pa in home skool.
Thanks sparky, I'll hire you to do my typing for me!
What's the quote about PA - Philadelphia and Pittsburgh with Alabama in between?
Anyway, I'm a PA native, live elsewhere now, and I can attest to the fact that the stupidity of 13 yr old vain girls has little to do with their political leanings or the state they were brought up in.
Glad they are expected to recover. I am sure they learned their lesson.
Alan
Im not sure a GED can be considered a "degree", I think Matt's PhD trumps yours.
Holy crap this thread got ugly in a hurry.
Steve,
Did I say GED? Don't think so. Nice try, idiot. I have a four year degree from one of the top universities in the country, but don't go blabbing about it online every time I can, like this guy does.
AND David B333, it's you're, not your. Education is important in both Red States and Blue States. Education might keep you from sunburning yourself when you lay out in the street.
Oh I get it! So blue states withhold school fundingfrom red counties. How noble.
Translation: my d&*$ is bigger than your d%&*. I'm willing to bet all of us sit down to s*$# the same way though...
rtypo, i don't sit, i s!@# in handstand position. top that!
Folks -
They are thirteen years old. Talk about H.S. Diplomas, GED, and PhDs is much too premature, and useless to this incident.
Next up, sunbathing on railroad tracks?
Will the train driver be charged?
So what you are saying is that in the BLUE states it's actually taught spcifically not to sunbath in the roadway?
Aw,cmon,y'all! Railroad tracks can leave "track-lines!!!! Don't y'all know nuthin"?
C'mon truthman, you don't think grill marks are sexy? The Cooking Channel said they was.
Look about 20 years down the road at a family gathering...."Remember the time that cousin __— ran over us when we were 13 and suntanning in the road." Children around the table look at each other and sigh..."That's how you got those tire marks on your legs?" "No" "Seriously?" Maybe, there is a reason some skeletons need to stay in the closet.
Girls on railroad tracks went out with Snydly Whiplash.
Note to self-when napping do not do it on the road or rr tracks. check.
chicken......:)
Samantha and Kaylie to smart phone, please wake us up if a car comes. Smart phone to Samantha and Kaylie after they were ran over, whats a car.
New Rural Pennsylvania Road Sign:
"Caution: Sunbathers On Road Next Five Miles"
Also, SIRI can't fix Stupid!
;-)
They need to come out with "Butt Beepers". If anything gets to close to your butt it will set off an alarrm.
Good morning.
The headline says they were sunbathing in the road, but the article says they were sunbathing along the road. Is the headline writer making this more of a story than it really is?
It says several times that they were in the road. It does not say "along" the road anywhere in the article.
msnbc? .......gee ya think?...........:)
Observer20036,
You need to work on your reading comprehension skills. After reading your post, I read the article a second time, and nowhere does it say that they were sunbathing "along the road" It says "in the road" in the title, and "on the road" twice in the article, which means the same thing.
Why dont' we do it in the road?
"No one will be watchin' us...."
They not only were in the road, it was only in the low 60's for the high temp in Beaver County on Sunday! Don't know how even the tan would be with goosebumps.
OMG.. what is happening to the mentality of today'skids ?... drinking had sanitizer, cough medicine... Hey Parents you really need to get involved with your KIDS!!!! I know we did stupid things growing up, but not that stupid, we raided the liquor cabinet, not drink stuff that common sense says "it will kill you or make you really sick"...
I saw that bit on drinking hand sanitizer recently. Most kids aren't really drinking it straight, but distilling it first. In otherwords, their buying an easily obtainable source of alcohol which is easily converted to the good stuff with a hotplate and some tubing.
What I was most shocked about is that the stuff is essentially 130 proof jello that for some reason is not being controlled by any State's liquor control board.
Why in the world would any state liquor control board go after hand sanitizer? They'd have to do the same with every kind of mouthwash, and quite a few household cleaning products too.
Then again, I live in a state where I have to sign my life away to buy decongestant, so I suppose some lawmaker somewhere has thought of it.
I feel bad for the driver, and only the driver. Hopefully, the impact knocked some sense into the two 13yr olds. They won't be this lucky the next time.
Future congressional leaders this pair? Maybe Senatorial candidates? If they continue in the directions they are going, no doubt they will end up as brain dead adults holding political office somewhere.
I hope it knocked a thought process into the girls...
Agree 100%
And they say tanning beds are dangerous !
Thus the need for dumbass warning labels on everything!!!!!
Really, I can see it now, a road sign along PA streets that says
"NO SUN TANNING IN THE STREET"
LOL
That they will expect all tax payers to pay for!
I look at stories and think:
Maybe they are spraying us with "idiot spray". Chemicals to make us sick- No. Idiot Spray- Yes.
Can Y'all all spell "Chemtrails"??? ~ LMAO!!!
Doc
I was surprised these weren't Santorum girls.
Duuuuh - I'm bored. Yeah me too. Hey I know - lets go lay in the road! Duuuuh - sounds good to me.
Of course 13 yo kids are not always known for making the best decisions.
All I can say is unbelievable!!
Spend a little time around 13 year olds, an' Ya can learn t' believe ANYTHING!!! ~ LOL!!!
Doc
Not saying this wasn't a stupid thing to do, but did you ever think that maybe the road was the only place that the sunlight shone through? In rural areas they have these things called trees (a lot of them) that often block the sun. Most likely, these girls didn't pick to lay in the road because they wanted to be stupid, they just wanted to get to the sun. Unfortunately, as I said, it probably wasn't the brightest idea in hindsight.
Leeee 1102-Snakes do the same thing and it doesn t work out too good for them either. Guess the common sense level was up there with a reptile.
My friend and I were driving home one night when she turned onto my street. It was after midnight and pitch black out. She had to slam on her breaks because two of the teenage neighbor kids were lying in the middle of the road.
I can't imagine they could charge the driver for the girls' stupidity.
can't help but to laugh and not feel sorry for these girls.. derp
This incident is likely to make those Two girls the most popular students in their school!!! ~ They could even be voted "The most likely to succeed"!!!
Doc
I may be going to Hell for this but I laughed out loud. Honestly - words fail me.
They need to check "cousin cooter's" blood alcohol level and check his truck for a stash of 'shine.
You think he got the girls drunk before they decided to lay in the road?
Perhaps.. Maybe that's how they do abortions out in them thar hills? Get 'em drunk, have 'em lay in the road and cousin-daddy runs 'em over with the family truck.
Even if the girls wern't pregnant already, it was just a matter of time. ;)
Young teens suffer from a lack of common sense, however, that does not mean they are pregnant, on drugs or drunk. They did something totally lacking in a type of common sense but no reason to insult them.
It makes the rest of us feel better, though, when we can blame such Darwin Award winning behavior on drugs or something. I personally do not wish to contemplate people thinking this was a good idea.
This is survival of the fitest at it's best.
And today's Darwin Award will be shared by two 13 year olds who like to dress as road kill.
You can't fix stupid.
As the local kids look down the road and say, well looky there, we gots us two new speed bumps. Let's go jump em wit our bikes!!!
@ canon-2792132 LMFAO!!!!! now that would be a huge hit at a Halloween party LOL!
@ Dan-2106341 LOL! It seems as if someone tried to, but the truck didn't make it!
Yes you can. Just let Darwin do his thing and stop protecting stupid.
But you can make it painful.
Darwin didn't win this time, but he always does eventually.
