Object hits PGA shuttle bus, injuring 6

By Associated Press, 8/29/2003

FOXBORO -- Six people were injured Friday afternoon when a bus crashed as it was shuttling spectators between Gillette Stadium and a PGA golf tournament, police said.

The bus was hit by a parking lot gate that was blown shut by the wind, a Foxboro police spokeswoman said.

The gate hit the bus in an area where passengers were sitting, state trooper David Parsons said. Two people were seriously injured and were taken by helicopter to Boston Medical Center. Their condition was not immediately available.

1. Must've been one of Saddam's drones.

Oh, wait... he's 'on the run.' And we're 'on the hunt.' So it can't be Saddam. Who's next on our list? Assad? Yeah, that's it--they're Syrian drones! Invade Syria!

3. Wasn't Matcom going to that tournament?

Hope his ass is okay. Aw, he'd probably drive, not take a shuttle any way.

5. When the title said 'hit by an object,' I thought: golf ball? ...

thrown putter?

I guess that a gate is an object, but 'hit by an object' doesn't sound like a gate. Will this be known as PGAgate?

6. I thought of Jack Nicholson and his 5-iron

Or a stray ball.
