ARKANSAS CITY (EAP) -- A Little Rock woman was killed
yesterday after leaping through her moving car's sun
roof during an incident best described as a "mistaken
rapture" by dozens of eye witnesses.
Thirteen other people were injured after a twenty-car
pile-up resulted from people trying to avoid hitting
the woman who was apparently convinced that the
rapture was occurring when she saw twelve people
floating up into the air, and then passed a man on the
side of the road who she claimed was Jesus.
"She started screaming "He's back!, He's back!" and
climbed right out of the sunroof and jumped off the
roof of the car," said Everet Williams, husband of
28-year-old Georgann Williams who was pronounced dead
at the scene.
"I was slowing down but she wouldn't wait till I
stopped," Willams said. She thought the rapture was
happening and was convinced that Jesus was gonna lift
her up into the sky," he went on to say.
"This is the strangest thing I've seen since I've been
on the force," said Paul Madison, first officer on the
scene.
Madison questioned the man who looked like Jesus and
discovered that he was on his way to a toga costume
party, when the tarp covering the bed of his pickup
truck came loose and released twelve blow-up sex dolls
filled with helium which then floated up into the air.
Ernie Jenkins, 32, of Fort Smith, who's been told by
several of his friends that he looks like Jesus,
pulled over and lifted his arms into the air in
frustration, and said "Come back," just as the
Williams' car passed him, and Mrs. Williams was sure
that it was Jesus lifting people up into the sky as
they passed by him, according to her husband, who says
his wife loved Jesus more than anything else.
When asked for comments about the twelve sex dolls,
Jenkins replied "This is all just too weird for me. I
never expected anything like this to happen."
