Not political

Ducks causing major havoc.

Three-vehicle crash blamed on ducks

PALATINE, Ill. - Illinois State Police are blaming a small flock of ducks for a three-car accident that blocked a major highway near the Chicago suburb of Palatine.

Master Sergeant Rene Benavidez says the ducks walked onto Illinois Route 53 Friday afternoon, and a driver had to slam on the brakes to avoid hitting them.

After the sudden stop, the first vehicle was rear-ended by two others.

Benavidez says three people suffered minor injuries from the crash and one of them had to be extricated from a van by the Palatine Fire Department.

The whole highway was shut down for about 15 minutes and traffic was diverted onto Northwest Highway.

The ducks were not injured.



I just had to laugh at "The ducks were not injured." It reminded me of the "________ were not hurt in the making of this film."
