Jazz trio causes car crash

A car crash in Kansas City on the 4th of December was caused by a surprising part in an experimental jazz song. This led to warnings about what kind of music you should listen to while driving. No one was lethally hurt, but both drivers got mild concussions and some broken bones and wounds.

Robert Jones and Virginia Sawyer were brought to Kansas state hospital at 4.pm on the 4th of November after a car crash on a small country road right outside Kansas’s detention camp. The accident occurred when Mr. Jones had lost control over the car. The police found that a very big cardboard box full of tomatoes broke when the cars collided. So the scene looked much worse to the police, due to all the tomatoes and tomato juice that had bore down around the car wrecks. Mr. Jones confirmed that he was on his way home from the annual crop festival right outside Kansas City.

- I was on my way home, and I was listening to pretty loud music. And since I’m a big fan of experimental jazz and fusion, I was listening to the Swedish jazz trio, E.S.T, says Mr. Jones. And I got startled by a surprising part of the song and I lost control.

Mr. Jones tried to prevent the accident when he saw the other car, but he wasn’t able to despite his efforts.

Mrs. Sawyer is currently in a small coma and not responding, but the doctors will continue to cover her, and as they are monitoring her recovery, they are very certain that she will wake up soon. Her husband Christopher Sawyer, says that she had called him a couple of minutes before the accident and told him that she was on her way home from work. She works in a help center for autistic children that she founded herself and that road is her regular commuting route.

The police are sending out a warning to everyone, that listening to very intense music, is very dangerous and everyone should be cautious in their choice of music while driving.
