First off all I must begin by saying that I mean no disrespect to the family but what are the odds of a woman with the name of Boo getting killed by a tractor trailer full of pumpkins crashing into her home so close to Halloween?




An 18-wheeler hauling 40,000 pounds of pumpkins veered across a two-lane roadway and broke through the brick facade of a home in Tennessee killing Carol Boo, who was sleeping inside.



Her husband and son were sleeping in other rooms and were not injured.

The truck driver, 34-year-old Leonard Wilson of Nashville, was not injured in the crash. He told police that he had been driving north on McGavock when the trailer began wobbling, according to a news release from police. He told officers he lost control before careening off the road.

Boo's family gathered at their shattered home Wednesday to grieve while sifting through rubble. A family member said they were too overwhelmed to talk.
