Default Driving over road debris



An unlucky driver ran over a mattress but decided to keep driving. In his pursuit to continue, the mattress ultimately whipped around enough to put a tear in the gas tank. The subsequent lack of fuel is what brought the vehicle to a standstill.

The driver managed to drive 30 more miles before he pulled over to the side of the road
