Bird flies into car in Kentucky, causes Interstate crash
LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - Blame it on a bird.
Authorities in central Kentucky say a bird flew into the open window of a car traveling on Interstate 75 in Madison County and caused a crash in which the car landed upside down in the median.
The unidentified driver was unharmed after the bird got in her face and caused her to lose control Thursday.
WLEX-TV in Lexington quoted John Partin with the county rescue squad, who called it "one of those freak accidents." Partin said the woman who drove the car had crawled out and was sitting beside it when an off-duty police officer and another driver arrived.
