ROCK ISLAND, Tenn. (AP) - One moment, Justin Hill was turning into his driveway. Minutes later he was being flown to a hospital as his home went up in flames. Then he got a traffic ticket.

 

Hill, 42, got into a crash after turning into the path of an oncoming car Tuesday evening, said Tennessee Highway Patrol Officer Monte Terry. Hill's wife heard the crash and ran outside, leaving the kitchen stove, where she had been cooking unattended.

 

Within minutes, their Rock Island trailer was on fire, and firefighters who had responded to the accident found themselves fighting the blaze.

 

The rural central Tennessee home had extensive damage. Hill was treated at the hospital and released, but he was cited in the accident for failure to yield.

Now THAT.......is having a bad day!....... :)

At least they're both alive.

Sheesh, you think they would have cut him a break on the ticket.

Sounds like the classic line: If it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all.

 

As pointed out above, the couple is alive - so that means they had some good luck.

 

This also reminds me of the old cartoon character that aways had a rain cloud over his head.
