Woman says sneeze caused her to crash into State Police cruiser on Interstate 95 in Canton.
By Matt Rocheleau, Globe Correspondent
A woman said a sneeze caused her to lose control of her car, which crashed into the rear of a State Police cruiser stopped along Interstate 95 in Canton on Sunday, authorities said.
The cruiser was in the breakdown lane, stopped behind a vehicle that had a flat tire north of exit 11 on I-95 northbound, according to a statement from State Police.
At about 5:20 p.m., a 2003 Buick Century crashed into the cruiser.
The woman driving the Buick said she had sneezed and lost control of her car, police said.
She did not report any injuries, the statement said. A trooper, who was inside the cruiser when it was hit, was taken to Norwood Hospital as a precaution.
Both vehicles were towed from the scene, police said.

Planning on crashing into police cruisers, Sleepy?

Shyte happens. When I was a kid there was a stunt jetplane (I think it was a CF-100 called the Red Devil) that used to do airshows and one time a pilot had the thing low over OK Lake and he sneezed. Made a big splash in the water and the newspaper.

Yes it could happen a sneeze can cause one to pull the wheel one way or another and remember
for a split second one usually closes their eyes which means in a moving vehicle you can get out of
your traffic lane doesn't always happen but it can.

For me I have to be extra careful when driving. A hyper active vasovagal response means if I tense up when sneezing, I can actually faint.

:shock:

I've actually had to pull over when startled too badly before. That flinch, that moment when you tense your body up, that's my off switch.

I can imagine. Some sneezes don't give much warning either.

Heheh! Was kidding there...Just a few months ago, in T O, on eglington west, coming up on a green light, I sneezed, and while I stayed in the right lane, it took a bit for my eyes to refocus, and if my wife hadn't warned me, i might have gone through a light that just turned red, and while I might not have hit anyone, I would have had to pay a fine cause that light has cameras.......

That's for sure. Most of our moose are fairly far off the highways here, but we do have bear, deer, great horny owls, and big cats trying to become part of the traffic occasionally.
3 times now I've almost had large, feathered aircraft threaten to take out my windshield at night, 2 cougars bounding across the road in front of me, a sow griz in a hurry threatening to freight train through the front doors of my crewcab, a black bear change its mind on direction in front of me, and a few deer deciding to be indecisive in front of me.
