Literal GPS

Lawnside driver follows GPS into head-on collision
*** Samantha Goodman Gardiner, 31, told officers she was heading east on Sherman Avenue...on her way to...Fitness Connection...when her GPS directed her to turn left.
So she did, police said.
However, the directions were a bit off. As Gardiner made the turn onto a dirt road opposite the ...Center entrance on Sherman Avenue, she crashed into an oncoming car. *** Police noted the dirt road was two-tenths of a mile west of the Fitness Connection, which is at the corner of Sherman Avenue and Orchard Road.

Well, presumably after a day of skiing, two men got into a snowball fight on Route 242 in Jay with one ending up in the hospital and the other facing charges. http://www.wcax.com/Global/story.asp?S=14244616

This may have been posted before, as it seems vaguely familiar, but it's funny none the less.


Top story on CNN.

FOLLOW UP: The note was actually left by her granddaughter. The note was a joke, but Jean Mansel takes everything seriously and called the news. Jean is very unhappy about the situation and she doesn't think it was funny at all!
