JellyBellier Squashed
Armored tank crushes man on Jelly Belly's CEO property FAIRFIELD, Calif. (AP) - Authorities say a man was accidentally crushed to death with a World War II-era tank on a Jelly Bean's chairman Herman Rowland's property in Fairfield. The Reporter of Vacaville say the California Highway Patrol said the victim was 54-year-old Kevin Wright of Suisun City. The CHP says the accident occurred Saturday when Rowland's son-in-law Dwayne Brasher was driving a 1944 M5 tank during a family reunion. Authorities said Brasher was driving the military tank through an open field on the property on Abernathy Road. Wright was a passenger and was sitting on the front edge of the tank. As the tank traveled down a dirt hill, Wright fell off and landed directly in front of the tank. The CHP says drugs and alcohol do not appear to have been a factor in the accident. |

Re: JellyBellier Squashed
Sounds like another Darwin Award. You'd never find me sitting anywhere near the front exterior of a running tank, let alone on the edge of it while it's moving over uneven ground.
