While I didn't think the previous post about Disney deaths was neat, there was a certain distance in time from its list of gruesome deaths. this was enough to make it an article of curiosity to some people.

This is more of a news story than most Neatorama posts are, but it's a little tacky to post it as "another example of a Disney death". The driver's body is not yet in the ground.
