Un pickup traverse une maison aux États-Unis et fait deux blessés

(2022-05-30_10-42-18)


Un pickup a traversé une maison vendredi dernier à Downers Grove, dans l’Illinois, aux États-Unis. Selon les autorités, le conducteur a perdu le contrôle du véhicule en raison d’un problème médical. Ce dernier a été transporté à l’hôpital avec sa passagère, mais les deux n’ont pas été grièvement blessés. Par chance, les propriétaires de la maison se trouvaient au sous-sol au moment de l’accident. Ces derniers n’ont pas été blessés.


Leslie West heads for the sticks, to Providence, Rhode Island and
tries to hide behind a beard. No good. There are still too many people
and too many stares, always taunting, always smirking. He moves to the
outskirts of town. He finds a place to live -- huge mansion, dirt cheap,
caretaker included. He plugs in his guitar and plays as loud as he wants,
day and night, and there's no one to laugh or boo or even look bored.
Nobody's cut the grass in months. What's happened to that caretaker?
What neighborhood people there are start to talk, and what kids there are
start to get curious. A 13 year-old blond with an angelic face misses supper.
Before the summer's end, four more teenagers have disappeared. The senior
class president, Barnard-bound come autumn, tells Mom she's going out to a
movie one night and stays out. The town's up in arms, but just before the
police take action, the kids turn up. They've found a purpose. They go
home for their stuff and tell the folks not to worry but they'll be going
now. They're in a band.
