Weird News: Car Plows into Crowd ... of Dinosaurs

Some stories are downright strange. Here's our wrap-up from around Northern Suffolk and the East End.

As a local news organization, Patch covers stories of all kinds, from heartbreaking tragedies to inspiring tales of community brotherhood. But some stories are just plain weird. Here are some of the stranger headlines from the past seven days.

Turns Out a Nissan Killed the Dinosaurs

A driver accidentally smashed into several dinosaur statues Tuesday afternoon at Yesterday's Treasures, a statue store on County Road 39 in Southampton, turning what were once proud edifices to the Paleolithic into piles of dust and sharp teeth.

Mike, a manager at the store who would only give his first name, said a man driving a small Nissan lost control.

"He drove through a bunch of dinosaurs, and then hit some cows," Mike said.
We bet nobody's ever said a sentence like that before.
