Truck runs over sunbathing reality star’s head

[UnrepentantLiberal]

What's an appropriate gift to send after accidentally running over a woman's head with a truck? Well, if you're 20-year-old Taylor Greer, you bring flowers and an apology.

The victim was 23-year-old Brittany Taltos, best known as a reality television star on Jersey Shore and ABC's Bachelor Pad. Taltos was sunbathing in her own front yard when Greer's Chevrolet Silverado ran over her head.

"I honestly thought I was going to die," Taltos told The Ledger . Amazingly, Taltos remained conscious throughout the ordeal and received 15 stitches after being rushed to a nearby hospital at the University of Florida.

A standard Chevrolet Silverado weighs approximately 4,500 pounds.

The Gainesville, Florida Fire Department says the point of impact left a noticeable depression in the front lawn. Talto's roommate said she had "visible tire tracks" on her face after the accident.

We often have heated discussions about the benefits of wearing bike helmets (most recent here) but Ryan Lipscomb of Madison, Wisconsin is alive to tell of a truck running right over his head. "I didn't see it coming, but I sure felt it roll over my head. It feels really strange to have a truck run over your head." The truck just kept on going, as they so often do, usually saying that they didn't know they hit anything. The police and Lipscomb think otherwise: "The truck driver definitely would have known. You know when you run over a curb and my head was definitely higher than a curb." Moreover, Lipscomb said, he was already in the street as the truck was turning. "He had to have seen me." I am going out tomorrow and getting me a Giro, that is just amazing.

7. I was getting all ready to make an excuse !

It wasn't me! I was out of town! I was dead at the time!


Thing is, if I had run her over with my car hauler, I would have dragged her to the next block.

That's bad, I know, but I loathe reality TV and all the no-talents it produces.
