I got'cher Darwin award winner, right he-ah!!!
Okay, Denizens, we got your 2008 Darwin Award winner right here.
A 22-year-old woman was killed after she was hit by a car while trying to take pictures of a three-vehicle accident on LBJ Freeway early Sunday.April Sterling of Dallas and her friend were heading west on LBJ Freeway near Plano Road when they stopped so she could take pictures of the accident that occurred about 7:45 a.m., said Dallas police Sgt. Gil Cerda.
Ms. Sterling wanted to get closer to the accident scene so she ran into the HOV lane when a vehicle traveling west struck her, throwing her into the eastbound lanes of the freeway. She was taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital where she died from her injuries.
So the little bimbo just hadda get pictures of this three-vehicle inferno, did she? Couldn't just pass it by, couldn't call 911 - no, she just hadda have a Kodak Moment™. Typical case of Texas Rubbernecker Syndrome™ - and in this particular case, fatal.
If this doesn't win the Darwin, they should quit giving it out.

Nope, won't happen. Given the proximity of Okieville and AR-Kansas to Dullest, the hair-brained nominee was likely from one of those two localities.
