"Dumped its load"

[TheSportsPredictor]

Nice line by The PD in a story about a traffic accident today:

The steel fell to the pavement, sending chunks of concrete from a nearby curb flying. The concrete struck the windshield of a Cleveland Clinic van. The truck landed on its side and dumped its load.

That's some quality writing. And editing.

The whole thing was painful to read. But (based on the addy) isn't it just a blog?

Thanks for checking in Butthead.

You forgot that Cleveland is a Newhouse/Advance paper which means that they're forced to use blog software to post breaking news stories during the day.

We've had a spate of semi accidents lately. Next one, I'm using this line for the **** of it.

Also enjoy dropping in "t-boned" as a synonym for "hitting someone broadside" on occasion, too.
