Arizona Man George Lindell Crashes Into A Pole… And Right Into Our Hearts

Video
» 37 comments

As strange as I realize this might sound, an Arizona car crash victim has just totally made my Friday. George Lindell was driving to the supermarket when he lost control of his SUV, causing it to roll over and eventually crash into a utility pole. The force of the crash caused power lines to fall onto the SUV, trapping Lindell inside.

He was eventually freed by firefighters and, trooper that he is, was soon able to share his story with local reporters. In vivid details. With a few enthusiastic grunts and dance moves thrown in for good measure:

Well, I was driving down Northern Avenue, getting ready to pull into Albertson’s, and all of a sudden I was just minding my own business – BAM! Hit me hard, right from the back! I was glued to the seat and I was like “Wuuughghghghgh!”

I, too, was like “Wuuuughghghghghgh!” while watching this very report.

Take a look at Lindell’s extraordinary storytelling skills, via Fox News’ local Phoenix affiliate. And please take note of the reactions of the young ladies behind him. And the moment where he knocks his little hat off his head, because that is damn precious:

  • BBBAAAAMMMMM!!!

    The story is wrong.  George Lindell didnt roll and hit the pole nor was he trapped.   He was hit by a guy from behind whose van rolled and hit the pole.   I mean he couldnt explain it any clearer.   BBAAAAMMMMMM!!!!

    Obviously the guy is a Tea Bagger Republican!! Not too smart!!

    The story is COMPLETELY wrong. This is NOT the guy that was in the car that rolled. This is the guy that was hit, which if the person who wrote this had actually watched the video properly, he would know 5 seconds into the video. Very shodding writing, IMO.

    You’re providing all the laughs we need billwhit. You’re related to that yokel, aren’t you bullwinkle? It made sense that a Fox reporter interviewed him however.

    This guy could have a career as a professional wrestler with his unique descriptive abilities.

    Can you see George after the Lord comes back?

    I MEAN…THERE HE WAS!!! LIKE, EVERYWHERE!!! AND THEN, KABLOWIE!!! AND WE WOUND UP,

    Saint Brigid said she’d like to stand with the Lord before a great lake of ale, in Heaven, so that they could share a quaff together. I hope that happens, and I hope I’m there with them, and I hope George is with us!

    Mediate needs to hire this guy. At least he knows what happened. Which I can tell from the headline and the story the author sure didn’t.  LOL

    Reality hits you hard bro. LMAO!  Arkin’ & Sparkin’ all over the place.

  • P0ossibly Maybe

    I think he’s awesome, so much enthusiasm and life in one man – but after reading the responses I have to ask why do so many of you assume its drug related? I don’t know about you, but I would be a little excited after being in an accident and seeing an electricity arc.. AND TO ALL OF THOSE WHO MISREAD – he didn’t cause the accident, somebody rear ended him…  so LadyLady, why that should seeing him on the news make you sick?   

    The Big Leboski in real life (that’s a good thing to me)

  • P0ssibly Maybe

    I gotta agree with Richochet here, there is already so much disinformation passed around on the internet, and its not really ok to perpetuate it.  If the site posts stories that it not true, then how do we trust anything that’s said?

    Do you have a guy like me in your class every year, Mr. Hand?

  • Quient3

    I’ve known George for 25 years, he’s NOT an f-ing tweaker!!!  He’s just a crazy son-of-a-bitch!!! :-)
