'Scuse Me!; Recent Alarming Headline

During a funeral in Lambayeque, Peru, pallbearers were stunned to hear knocking coming from within the coffin of Rosa Isabel Cespedes Callaca as they carried it, Metro News reported.

They lowered the box to the ground and opened the lid to find that Callaca was weak, but alive, following a serious car accident.

Cemetery caretaker Juan Segundo Cajo said that Callaca "opened her eyes and was sweating."

She was rushed to a hospital, where she was shown to have faint signs of life, but sadly, she expired a few hours later.

Her family members suspect she may have been in a coma following the accident, rather than deceased.

Police are now investigating the incident. [Metro News, 5/2/2022]

As Pinellas County (Florida) Sheriff's Deputy Todd Brien drove away from St. Pete Beach to check on a 911 hang-up call on May 4, he inadvertently drove over Robin Diffenderfer, a 23-year-old woman sunbathing on her back in the sand, ClickOrlando.com reported.

He struck her right side and mid- to upper back area.

She was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, and an investigation is ongoing. [ClickOrlando.com, 5/5/2022]
