Teen Driver Attempts to Kill Spider

Spiders can be Scary – 11 Injured, Driver Attempts to Kill Spider

The Hutchinson News reports that a 17-year-old girl in Kansas took her hand off the steering wheel to swat a spider that was on her lap. This action caused a four-vehicle crash. The Kansas Highway Patrol says the driver lost control of the car and went across the center line. Once in the oncoming lane, she struck a vehicle head-on. That vehicle then bounced off another car. Debris from this second collision struck another car.

This four-car crash injured 11 people including six children. The 17-year old driver was transported to the hospital. Additionally, the drivers and passengers in the first two cars struck were taken to the hospital. The driver and passenger in the car hit by debris were uninjured. Authorities report that everyone was wearing a seat belt. There is no word on conditions of those injured.
