Erratic driving indeed:
Pontiac [Illinois] police are investigating a rare case of decapitation this morning after a body was found in a tow truck and the head was found elsewhere.The truck was found near the intersection of routes 116 and 66 after bystanders called police about 4:30 a.m. to report the truck was moving erratically and a chain was dragging from the rear.
Police Commander Jim Woolford said a 911 caller reported the truck had left the parking lot of S&R Route 66 Auto Center, 1026 W. Reynolds St., traveled east in the parking lot of Super Gyros, 1024 W. Reynolds St., and then hit a sign before crossing Route 66 and going down the embankment of Mike's Glass Plus at the intersection of routes 116 and 66.
Woolford said police found the victim's head in the S&R parking lot.
He did pretty well, considering. Lots of headed people have driven worse.

ugh.
FC,
Actually it's Pontiac, Illinois; the story you link to is in the Bloomington (IL) Pantagraph, the same newspaper that many years ago ran the immortal headline, "Normal man marries Oblong woman" (both names of towns in central Illinois).
