    Well would you look at that:

    The driver of the Honda, a man in his 60s, was also taken to Liverpool Hospital for observation.
    Those damn hoons at it again!

    Police are now investigating the accident, a police spokeswoman said.
    Conflict of interest anyone?

    Just like the article I read the other day about Australian Government banning vegemite. Was based on an article that said Australians consume too much sugar and salt, but didn't say anything at all about banning vegemite or any food for that matter.

    Creative journalism?
