Dough-no!
An Ohio driver who reportedly dropped his doughnut while traveling on a busy roadway caused a devastating three-car crash — that flattened one vehicle and sent auto parts flying across the asphalt.
The disastrous events unfolded when the unidentified motorist dropped his sugary treat while reaching for a cup of coffee in his car as he was traveling on Rock Creek Road in Thompson Wednesday morning, the Ohio State Highway Patrol told WJW.
The distracted driver, who was unfamiliar with the winding road, allegedly veered into oncoming traffic and side-swiped one car before crashing into a second vehicle, the local outlet reported.
Fire officials extracted one person from their car after arriving at the grisly scene, which caused the road to shut down for about three hours, according to the Hamden Fire Department.
Images shared of the collision on Facebook showed one car completely squashed and another with a battered front-end. The third car was pictured off the road, with a detached wheel and slight damage to the driver’s side.
Two of the motorists were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries and the third was treated at the scene, WOIO reported.
The doughnut lover was cited for failing to stay in his lane and for distracted driving, WJW reported.
The crash remains under investigation.
