I am wondering what is the deal with Florida and the poor little llama? The headline is a little bit of a misnomer though, as none of the them were driving.
The Miami Herald reports that Charlotte County Fire-Rescue officials said a pickup truck carrying a trailer with four llamas crashed at mile marker 164, near Punta Gorda, FL, shortly after 2:30 p.m. The truck crashed into a bridge over the Peace River and the trailer tipped onto its side.
One of the llamas was injured, officials said.
"The animals were very easy to deal with," said Charlotte County Fire-Rescue spokeswoman Dee Hawkins-Garland, although "they were startled and had been tossed around in that trailer." Hawkins-Garland added: "I've been with the department for 24 years and this is the first time I've ever dealt with llamas."
The (human) driver of the pickup, a man in his 20's, was injured and taken to a hospital. Officials said he suffered minor injuries and was in stable condition.
No llamas were tased in the incident.
