Zombie Car Crash Sows Confusion



Rescue workers had to think twice before helping the undead victims of a highway car crash.

The zombie apocalypse has to begin somewhere. Inevitably, someone's soul will escape from their body and he/she will turn into the undead for an undetermined reason, starting the whole thing off. Just outside Portland, Oregon this week, a highway accident may have given some people the idea that zombies had begun their worldwide takeover.

Police told the press that a car was swerving on I-84's eastbound lanes when it rolled over and landed upside down. When rescue workers made it onto the scene, they found that the car was full of zombies. Oh no!

Though the the proper action would have been to shoot them all in the head and be done with it, the rescue workers were thankfully patient enough to realize that the people in the car were only dressed as zombies and wearing zombie makeup, rather than actually being zombies. Witnesses got a little freaked out at first as the zombie outfits made the victims' injuries appear worse than they actually were. If you're ever the victim of an accident or serious injury, you don't really want to be dressed as a zombie.

The group of undead were reportedly on their way to a party when their vehicle crashed. Nobody was killed, but five ghouls were brought to the hospital with injuries, and it's possible that others in the car were able to flee the scene on foot. If you live near Portland and saw a zombie running down the highway, don't worry, fast-moving zombies don't exist just yet. There is still hope that when zombies do send the world into an apocalyptic state, that they'll at least be slow moving and somewhat easy to avoid.

Well that[/I] could've been a very nasty shotgun accident.

Good thing no-one from the internet found them first, They'dve killed it with fire.

That's awesome. Yet sad that there was a crash.
Must've been horrible on the paramedics to work out where they'd been injured though.

Zombies: notoriously bad drivers.
Seriously, though, imagine being the one to discover the victims in that state.

I imagine watching the ones that got out crawl out of a car wreck dressed as a zombie would be a little ominous.

One would hope that most of the zombie "Wounds" we're just plastic prosthetics that would easily slide/come off. Or perhaps the make-up would have gotten runny(OMG dangerous) when it mixed with the resulting bleeding.

Imagine what would've been in the papers if the police had actualy shot them or something...

Sometimes grownups playing dressup has downsides...

This is a trick. The zombies have fooled the authorities and will soon take control of the hospital. from there, they will spread into the city, and then to the world.

Well, I guess there's one lesson to be learned; if you ever dress up as a zombie, you better make damn sure that you don't get in a car crash because some people won't help you. Well, at least some people on the internet won't. =P
