AP — VANCOUVER, Wash. — At this rate, Cindy Werner just shouldn’t own a Subaru.
Werner’s 2004 Subaru Outback was crushed on Friday when a 44,000-pound metal silo came tumbling off a tractor-trailer truck, down an embankment and landed on Werner’s car along Southeast 23rd Street in this city just across the Columbia River from Portland.
Werner had been out on a bike ride, and came back to find the damage to her car. She told Portland television station KATU that it was the second Subaru she’d lost in six months. Her other car had been stolen and burned.
jay: the thing you probably don’t know about the pacific northwest is that the probability of something falling off a truck and crushing a subaru outback is lower than something falling off a truck and not crushing one.
