Slow and steady wins the race


Often times I have fucked up doing something because I was in a rush, maybe pouring cereal, or pumping up a bike tire... but those usually end in a small mess or a popped tire. One young father has paid the ultimate price for not taking the extra second, or ten, to problem solve:

(not actual picture of said father)

A 22 year old man by the name of Miguel Angel Rivera Lemus fell on a knife trying to save his children that he accidentally locked in the car.

police said "the couple tried to find a way to open the car. The wife searched for a spare set of keys. Lemus, meanwhile, grabbed a large butcher knife which police believe he was going to use to pry open the car’s window"

"But as Lemus went out of the apartment, he fell down six stairs and landed on the knife"

.....Well fuuuuck........

Police said "he managed to return to the apartment unit and asked his wife to call 911. She had been able to get the children out of the car using a spare set of keys. The children were not injured"

He later died at Carolinas Medical Center
