ARLINGTON, Wash. (AP) - State troopers said a man is lucky to have only
minor injuries when he crashed his car into a barn after his steering wheel
popped off while driving. Trooper Keith Leary said the 59-year-old man was
driving his 1978 Buick on Thursday afternoon on State Route 530 when his
steering wheel came off, the car left the road, went down an embankment, up
the other side, and crashed into a barn.
The man narrowly missed a power pole and several small barns with baby cows
inside.
Rescuers said it's a miracle the man suffered only minor neck pain in the
accident. The farm's owner said the car destroyed the farm's refrigeration
and milking area and happened right as 140 cows were about to be milked.
