Driving through a cornfield

Crop circle done by a drunken alien? No -- from the UK Metro:

Driver comes a cropper in police chase
May look like the latest aliens to land on our planet have been drinking and driving, but these bizarre patterns, discovered in a corn field in Holland, have a much more mundane explanation.

They were made by a drug user who was attempting to escape from police in his father's car. The man had been using cocaine.

Four police cars were damaged in a desperate attempt to prevent the crazed driver from reaching public roads, but they could not save the crop from irrepairable damage.

In the end, the man was captured when he crashed the car into a ditch.

Some nasty fines for that -- corn is quite the pricey crop these days... Hat tip to BoingBoing for the link. Posted by DaveH at June 25, 2007 5:24 PM
