Man drowns while trying to rescue own car.

Man drowns while trying to pull car from lake.

Evidently he had been out horsing around and drove the car into the lake, then one of them drown while trying to help the towtruck man pull it out.

 

[MithShrike]

No loss to me.

 

[notfred]

He doesn't sound like a teen to me.

 

[FrogDog]

It was a 41 year old man, not a teen.

Not one of the more brilliant moves I've ever seen.

*re-reads article* Opps, you're right.

If he was a sea turlte then he'd be a teen. Also, if he was a turtle he wouldn't have drowned.

Sometimes it's better to be born a turtle.

BELLEVILLE - Man, 41, loses life in lake

C'mon, it was the first line of the article, was it that hard to miss?

41 != teen

Old habit of mine.

Ok, fine. Geez. Picky, picky. It's done.

If my car fell into the lake, I don't think I'd try too hard to get it back. I sure wouldn't risk drowning for it. That's stupid, and it reeks of materialism to boot.

EDIT: Upon reading, I sure as hell wouldn't do it for anybody else's car either.

41 = man

The vehicle appeared to have been there for several years, Barfield said.

 

[Pepsi90919]

maybe he expected to drive it home. there's a reason they called the k-cars plymouth reliants.

A man died Tuesday after he tried to connect a tow truck hook to a car submerged in the lake at Southside Park on Monday.

Neumann was taken to the hospital where he was stabilized, Barfield said.

Nice bit of writing, and PROOF reading.

This is why you should not be cheap, and hire a pro. diver instead. I get paid to savage stuff all the time and the stuff I bring up ain't worth 1/4 what a cars worth!!! :beer:

A driver from Paule Towing told police he was not sure whether he could get the car out of the lake. The responding officer turned, went to his car to call his supervisor to have him respond to the scene. While he was making the call, Neumann took the tow truck hook from the driver, attached the hook to the back of his shorts and began to swim out to the back of the vehicle, Barfield said.

The officer's view was obscured by the tow truck so he was unable to see Neumann enter the water, Barfield said.

When the officer saw Neumann, he was "near the vehicle, submerged in water and struggling," Barfield said.

That's when the tow truck driver reeled in Joe Neumann. Barfield did not release the name of the driver. The driver could not be reached for comment Tuesday at Paule Towing in Belleville.

Struggling or not, I think reeling in the guy is what did him in.
