This photo taken on Friday shows a dead body on a gurney that fell out of a coroner's van and onto a busy roadway.
Drivers traveling on a busy Bucks County, Pa. road on Friday had to navigate an unusual obstruction -- a gurney carrying a corpse.
A Bucks County Coroner's Office van was traveling down the 100 block of East Street Road in Lower Southampton, Pa. around noon when the vehicle's rear door malfunctioned, the coroner's office confirms. The body then rolled out of the van and onto the road near the Bucks Crossing Shopping Center.
A photo from the scene shows the body, wrapped in a sheet, sitting in the middle of the street as cars passed.
County officials say the coroner employee driving the van realized what had occurred immediately and circled back to the scene.
A bystander helped the driver remove the body from the road, according to LevittownN
"The Bucks County Coroners Office deeply regrets this incident and will take steps to ensure that it is not repeated in the future, a county news release said.
An investigation into the incident is underway.

Funny story, Nona. I'm sure it's happened more than once. Had he been alive it might have killed him, so he was lucky. Yup, a lucky guy.

10 years agoUrban dictionary: kik (yeah, I had to look it up, I'm a hermit, ya know)
known as a mistyped form of the common internet slang "lol", meaning laugh out loud, kik itself is a little different.
KIK literally stands for "kicked in krotch". now you might be saying krotch doesn't begin with a k, well you are partially correct. If you are a smoker you might have heard of the brand name "KOOL", and seeing as how this is a misspelling of "cool" we will now accept the mistyping of the letter C as that of K.

10 years agoI'm really glad I was not behind the coroner's ambulance.
My old icky car, The Semi-Mobile Piece of Junk, was in front of me, after I had bought my new car, Car-baby, and dropped his entire muffler system on the road, right in front of me. I nearly wrecked poor Car-baby, avoiding his junk!
I would have had a stroke!
