Coffin And Splutterin’ All The Way Home
A Romanian builder who injured his back in Macedonia travelled hundreds of kilometres home ‑ in a coffin. Mitev Jordanov was admitted to hospital before doctors told him he could go home, only if was transported lying absolutely flat on his back. Local ambulances could not help, since they only carry people whose lives are in serious danger. So the builder’s boss borrowed a hearse from an undertaker, put him in the coffin and drove him back to Romania.
FOOTNOTE: Lucky it wasn’t a dead end.
