FRANKLIN LAKES, New Jersey --
A man died after authorities say he drove his car around a barricade and onto live wires in New Jersey Thursday morning.
[....]
Responding officers arrived finding a vehicle fully engulfed, with a live power line lying in the roadway near the vehicle.

The driver was pronounced dead at the scene. He has not been positively identified.

The fire totally gutted the vehicle.

The investigation is ongoing.

Downed power lines remain a major problem in the wake of the region's second nor'easter in a week.

Utilities were working overtime to deal with downed trees and electric lines that snarled traffic and left hundreds of thousands without power.

This is why we do NOT drive around barricades. Duh. Moron.

There is a joke in there somewhere... but not sure how negatively it would be received.

It would probably have something to do with the ground.

Im critical of stupid comments, and this thread happens to be full of em. Not nearly enough details for anyone to fairly say if he was being a dumbass or if this was a tragic accident.
