Car crash driver blames pterodactyl

Here is a good one! He should be charged for falsefying information too! Or maybe admitted to a mental hospital for delusional thinking. Maybe it would be a good idea to pull his license as well since he seems to have bad trips.

Quote:

A 29-year-old Washington driver who last Thursday night drifted into the oncoming lane before crashing into a light pole failed to convince police officers that flying dinosaurs were to blame, HeraldNet reports.

The 29-year-old Wenatchee man apparently wandered off course "for less than a block" while oncoming traffic obligingly stopped to let him pass en route to said pole. Wenatchee police Sgt. Cherie Smith said that a breathalyzer test showed "a minimal amount of alcohol", although officers' queries as to what had caused the prang were met with the single-word answer "pterodactyl".

The man was treated in hospital and later released. He has been charged with first-degree negligent driving.

I'm offended: did anyone question the pterodactyl? Is there even a warrant out for him? If there is, would it constitute profiling?

Enquiring minds want to know!

Was it a pink pterodactyl?

I'm staying away from Wenatchee for a while.
