Flipping out

I don't think this kid is going to be getting his driver's license anytime soon.
A 16-year-old boy apparently had a seizure during his driving test, causing him to hit five vehicles, flip his Jeep and wreck the front of a store.

The teen and other drivers were treated at a hospital after Monday's crash. The driver's license examiner, Gregory Desmet, 59, of Macomb County's Shelby Township [Michigan], was hospitalized overnight with a broken arm.

The teen, whose name was not released, drove the 2004 black Jeep Cherokee above speed limits, hit four cars and rolled over before going airborne and crashing into another car, which was pushed through the window of a rug store.
Well, at least nobody died. And it doesn't sound like there were any explosions, which would've looked cool, but might have hurt people.

By the way, check out the headline on the article:

It's been up like that since early this evening. Don't newspapers hire proofreaders anymore?
