Man Named Fox Wrecks Car After Picking Up 'Dead' Fox
Man Named Fox Wrecks Car After Picking Up 'Dead' Fox
A man who decided to take home a fox he hit on the road wrecked his SUV after the animal he thought was dead revived.
Tommy Fox ran over the fox last Wednesday near Dover, Tenn., as he returned home from work, the Leaf Chronicle reports.
Thinking the animal was dead, he decided to take the animal home to cut off its tail as a souvenir, Dale Grandstaff of the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency told the paper.
"The tails are real bushy and pretty and thick this time of year," Grandstaff said.
Instead, the driver flipped his GMC Jimmy trying to keep the fox — that had awoken in the backseat — from biting him, Grandstaff told the paper.
Fox suffered minor injuries and bruises, the Leaf Chronicle reports. The fox died, though it was unclear if it was from initial injuries or the subsequent wreck of the vehicle.

I guess I'll have to remember to make sure all the roadkill I decide to pick up is dead before I throw it in my truck.

Always cut the tail off and leave the dead animal on the side of the road. Imagine if the fox woke up missing a tail......

What a coink-i-dink! Do you really think he wanted the tail or maybe some quick supper??
