Incredibly close call
Drive in Missouri countryside almost turns deadlyKANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Need proof we live in a pinball world?
Lisa Long was driving through Cass County farm country last week when somebody -- maybe a mile or more away -- pulled the trigger on a high-powered rifle.
The bullet zipped over fields and pasture from the south as Long's car traveled west from her aunt's house. The two would meet at the same point at precisely the same instant.
Not only that, Long's driver-side window was down six inches or so and the bullet was at the perfect trajectory to enter the opening as she drove past that point at 40 mph.
The slug tore through her cheek, exited her mouth, then plopped onto the floorboard of the 1998 Ford Taurus.
What are the odds? Moving car, moving bullet. [...]
"I was listening to NPR and thinking what a beautiful day it was," Long said.
