Man Dies When Wind Flips Mattress He Was Moving
MOUNT JULIET, Tenn. — High winds are blamed for the death of a man who died when a mattress he was sitting on was blown off the back of a pickup truck.
Police said Doyle Smith, 42, a public works employee, was helping move the mattress Monday.
The wind flipped the mattress and Smith fell and hit his head on the road. He died at Maury Regional Hospital.
Mount Pleasant Police Chief Tom Wilson said the death would be classified as weather-related."
So then. In every state, city, and town in America, it is illegal to operate a vehicle with someone sitting untethered in the back such as what happened in this story, but the driver gets off scott free because the police label it as a weather-related-death.
Anyone want to bet me as to the occupation of the driver of this truck?
Wait...hold on a sec, I'm getting some static on my line and it might be from Chief Wilson's cell phone...
"Now dang it all, Junior...bzzzzzz...crackle...many times have I told you not to use old Doyle as the ballast for our mattress delivery business...crackle..."
