Just when you think it couldn’t get any more weird…it does!

This is one of those stories where you don’t think it can get weirder, but then it does . . .A couple in their mid-20s were driving through Kansas City, Missouri on Saturday when they hit a BOWLING BALL.

Someone threw it out in the street, and it got lodged under their car. The wife was driving, and her husband got out to try and dislodge it.

But then while he was under the car, some guy ran up and tried to steal the wife’s purse. And unfortunately, she reacted by hitting the GAS.

She accidentally ran her husband over. Then she heard him yell out in pain, so she threw it in reverse . . . and accidentally ran him over a second time.

Luckily, the husband survived. He showed up to a hospital with serious injuries, but should recover. The purse-snatcher ran off empty handed.

Some guy walked into a police station later that day to turn himself in. He admitted he was the one who threw the bowling ball into the street. It’s not clear if he’s the same person who tried to take her purse.
