Phoenixville News – Fri, Sep 28, 2007:
The Phoenixville Police Department is investigating a freak accident in which a borough woman ran over both of her legs in the drive-through lane at McDonald’s, 651 Nutt Rd., Friday afternoon.
According to Cpl. Pat Mark, a black Chevrolet Blazer, driven by a 53-year-old borough woman, was in the drive-thru lane at McDonald’s around 1:55 p.m. September 28.
“For some unknown reason, her legs were run over by her vehicle,” said Mark. “We are investigating how this accident could’ve happened.”
You can bet that this stupid waste of skin will now sue McDonalds. Whats more the fuckers doing their jury duty will find in her favor as well.
Whoops, sorry for the naughty language.
OK…
U are in a Large rig…
Making an order…
You unlatch the door to lean out…To see better/speak better into mic…
You fall out, and Face down, you flop your legs back, and the Vehicle, WHICH wasnt parked, only useing a break, SLOWLY rolls over your legs……
WTF???
This is a McDonalds drive-thru so there was certainly a security camera, so it’s only a matter of time before someone puts it up on YouTube.
Freak accidents do happen. An optometrist friend of mine was being careless one day and he got his finger caught in his lens grinder. He really made a spectacle of himself 😉
Anyone surprised that this took place on Nutt Road?
OK- finger in a lens grinder I get, as your hand would at least be close to the grinder.
To run over your own legs, you must be both outside and inside the car concurrently. This lady is either a gymnast, a genius, or a Darwin-award nominee.
Harmburger ?
Lying next to her crooked, bloody legs was an open McDonald’s bag with french fries spilling out next to her. It was as if a Heinz packet had exploded, but the three that came with her order were still packed neatly deep inside.

10,
CLOSE…
It would have been BETTER, if the signage had made it IMPOSSIBLE to open the door, so she DIDNT lean out of the vehicle… ANd the MIC had been placed in HER FACE…
What did she order? Did she get it and enjoy it while having her airlift? Maybe next time she can park and walk her fat butt into the grease kitchen
Now we know why fast food places don’t let you “walk-thru” the drive-thru…
That being said, I smell a future lawsuit against McDonalds for not warning her to stay in the car and a lawsuit against the Chevrolet for not adequately warning her of how an automatic works…
#3, ECA:
Depending on how the vehicle is geared, some cars can move pretty quickly. Mine isn’t an automatic, but in 1st and Reverse, it’s slowest speed is about 5 MPH, which doesn’t give you much time when you fall out of the car a few feet in front of the rear wheels…
Why do you all assume she is fat? Because she went to Mc Donalds? I guess that automatically makes you fat, if that is the case, then I bet all of you are fat asses too.. Because I am sure you have visited a fast food place at least once in your life.
The lady had an accident, she is hurt, and all i see are comments about her being fat.. Come on people get a clue, this is a person you are talking about, have some respect.
#3, if you open your door and lean out with the car in gear that just dumb.
Well since this was a woman she probably was trying to pay her bill with exact change. During the exchange of money some of it fell between the car and the drive thru window. She opened the door to retrieve the dropped coins, hits her head and falls out of the car while it is still in drive. Car rolls over her legs and she sues McDonalds for not adjusting the price to the nearest dollar.
#14 – There is only one post prior to yours that assumed she was fat, but I agree with your sentiment. Many think that paying a monthly fee to an ISP is like buying the right to be a judgmental prick.
For the record, there is no reason to even begin to imagine a lawsuit, yet some here have already seen the lawsuit and the outcome in what I must assume was a vision, and have expressed anger over the settlement.
#15 – Yep… sure is dumb… Raise your hand if you’ve never done something dumb or dangerous.
#16 – You might want to read the article before making your dumb jokes.
#17 – Maybe she wasn’t fat but apparently each time she wore high heels she struck oil.
I see this all the time. Some dumb-ass stops ten feet (exaggerated for sarcasm) from the drive-up window so she doesn’t scratch her precious car, tries to keep her foot on the break and falls out while trying to reach the window. These are the same morons that take up two parking spaces so no one can park next to said precious little heap. She obviously only memorized the answers in the drivers license study guide and didn’t absorb a damn thing from it or she’d know about the “Park” position on the gear selector or how to use parking breaks. She got what she deserved and maybe learned something in the process.
Only in America!
#19 – I see this all the time. Some dumb-ass…
All the time? Really? You see it “ALL THE TIME”?
You must work the fast food drive through then because I’ve never seen it before and I don’t think too many people would claim to have seen this on a frequent basis. In fact, if this happened “all the time” then why would it have been newsworthy enough to be a story?
I probably wouldn’t say anything, but you wrote:
She got what she deserved
To which I ask… who the fuck are you to know what she deserves…
It doesn’t much in this society of hateful pricks to deserve to have a car roll over you and be hospitalized.
So what if I do work at a fast-food joint, at least I have a job.
By the way, I don’t, but I do use the drive-through from time to time and I get stuck behind these idiots. Silly-me thinking the drive-through would be faster, which it should be if not for them.
Let me guess, you’re one on these twerps that take up the last TWO parking spots, aren’t you?
As for who am I? Well, let’s see, Palomar Jack comes to mind. And, I also have a right to express my feelings/opinions just like you have a right not to agree with them. I also don’t need to resort to childish single syllable expletives to get my point across, either.
Finally, you posted “It doesn’t much in this society of hateful pricks to deserve to have a car roll over you and be hospitalized.” To which I ask, “What?”
14,
It would be easier IF you were a skinny person to fall out…
to the others…
Yes I find it faster to PARK, when there is a line…Go inside and get my meal in 2 minutes…
#22 – By the way, I don’t, but I do use the drive-through from time to time and I get stuck behind these idiots. Silly-me thinking the drive-through would be faster, which it should be if not for them.
Oh gee pal… I’m sorry… I was out of line… You had to wait an extra minute or two for a Big Mac… Well I agree, that fucking bitch deserved to get run over by a car after all. How could I have been so insensitive?
Let me guess, you’re one on these twerps that take up the last TWO parking spots, aren’t you?
Yea… Because I take my Ferrari to Wal Mart all the time, and I don’t want your ’96 Impala anywhere near it.

Sorry. You easy offended by language? Fuck you, you uptight jackass. You have every right to express your opinion, and I’ll personally defend your right to post your stupid, ill-informed, mean spirited, misogynistic opinions. But I’ll also be first in line point out your dumbass point of view.
Finally, you posted “It doesn’t much in this society of hateful pricks to deserve to have a car roll over you and be hospitalized.” To which I ask, “What?”
If you have to ask “what?” then you must be pretty stupid. You’re the one who said she got what she deserved. What kind of bastard thinks anyone “deserves” to be mangled by a car for making a mistake… no matter how dumb the mistake is.
Go on… flame me back… I’m done with my work for the day and I got time.
lol that was a funny article – made me laugh 😉
She should have gone to Burger King….and had it her way!!! 🙂
#24, I won’t flame you back. But I would suggest a Valium.
Do you take everything everybody in your life says absolutely literally without any flexibility whatsoever? Now, the reason for my opinions; Don’t you think that if this person can’t seem to operate her vehicle safely in a drive-through at a walking pace that at highway speeds she is probably a danger not only to herself but other people as well?
But nooooooo, we’re to busy looking for insensitive or politically incorrect speech that might hurt someones feelings or self esteem. What are you, Self esteem Man, the super hero seeking out all insensitive opinions? And when found, promptly cuss out those that express them? Puh…leas, there’s nothing in the way of “naughty” words you can say or post that we haven’t read or heard before. Actually, I find your hideous grammar far more painful to read than the amusing single syllable metaphors you disgorge upon us.
Now, about that Valium…

Now, about that Valium…
Yes, only in America where no one is to blame for all the stupid things they do.
I travel to many countries and I often get asked where I am from as my American accent got distorted by my years in Australia and living abroad for 23 years.
In the 80’s I used to get “Oh American – and a broad smile.
Lately when I tell them I am American I often get a smirk, like they are thinking “Here is another loud mouthed jerk” and they seem to be not so warm and friendly.
As a test if I tell them I’m Australian the reaction I get a smile and they are much warmer and friendly.
Cheers
#28 – #24, I won’t flame you back. But I would suggest a Valium.
If you think a Valium is what I need, you are way off base. And if you think I actually care what you think or who you are, you are way off base again. I’ve never seen your name before. You are a tourist. I live here. So I don’t care who you are and if you are moving in, your skin needs to be thick.

It’s been my experience that you can’t dance with the Devil and then say you were only kidding.
Now, the reason for my opinions; Don’t you think that if this person can’t seem to operate her vehicle safely in a drive-through at a walking pace that at highway speeds she is probably a danger not only to herself but other people as well?
I have no evidence that this person can’t operate a motor vehicle safely. I do have evidence that in this one instance, this person made a serious misjudgment that resulted in serious injury to herself but not to any others, and as I’ve never walked in her shoes, and since I know nothing more than what the local hack wrote in the article (which goes so far as to embed a product placement ad for a towing company) I think the prudent thing to do is to reserve judgment… but failing that, the least one can do is not fall off the deep end and suggest that this woman’s injuries were somehow just.
You make others think you are happy that a stranger was seriously hurt… you celebrate the misfortune of strangers… well, what sort of respect can you possibly expect of me?
But nooooooo, we’re to busy looking for insensitive or politically incorrect speech that might hurt someones feelings or self esteem.
Wow… Have you read what I write here? First, I am pretty damn far from politically correct, and second, politically correct is an empty phrase with no real meaning used as a slur by the right to malign the left. It’s like a racial epitaph, and not a useful phrase.
Puh…leas, there’s nothing in the way of “naughty” words you can say or post that we haven’t read or heard before. Actually, I find your hideous grammar far more painful to read than the amusing single syllable metaphors you disgorge upon us.
I’m published muther fucker… what have you done lately? Are you really such a baby that a few “naughty” words upsets you? Go teach Sunday School.
When I take more than thirty seconds to pound out a passage, my grammar will be perfect. When I take less, it’s still better than most.
You can attack my politics. You can make your insipid accusations about self-esteem (which is more telling of your knuckle dragging philosophy). You can attack my sexuality, my mother, my girly mini-van, or the fact that I am afraid of bugs. I really don’t care.
But don’t you think attacking a man’s writing is a little beyond the pale, even for a dullard like you?
