We’ve reported on car accidents caused in Cleveland by people driving under the influence of alcohol or heroin, but this may be the first time we’ve reported someone causing an accident while under the influence of a flame-broiled burger (or chicken fries, we don’t judge).
Last night a driver was enjoying an evening snack of Burger King drive-thru when he began choking on his meal. From what he relayed to Cleveland Police, the man panicked, lost control of his vehicle and completely obliterated the RTA bus stop on the 5600 block of Broadway Avenue.
Fortunately, there were no injuries to the driver or anyone around the bus stop he hit when his vehicle hopped the curb. The driver managed to dislodge the food causing the choking fit, but it’s safe to assume that the Burger King responsible for the crash was lost as a casualty, leaving behind nothing but scattered french fries and a trail of broken glass from the bus stop’s shattered enclosure.
According to the police report, the man totally blames the accident on the King.

Do you know how silly you look when you make this a “SCENE and HEARD” item? Instead of posting these as SCENE NEWS stories, you need to become the editor and contributor to a brand-new NEWS OF THE WEIRD section. It would be right up your…um…alley. Go for it! Wouldn’t hurt to ask!
Well I guess the CEO of Burger Not will not be expecting to be nominated to the Supreme Court with this type of reputation. Down with monarchies anyway!
