Woman killed by husband's coffin

[Don't care]

A Brazilian woman has died after being struck by her husband's coffin when the hearse they were travelling in was involved in a car crash.

The hearse was struck from behind by an Alfa Romeo car, police said.

The coffin slammed into the head of the woman, who was sitting in the passenger seat of the hearse, killing her instantly, according to officers.

I don't know what the comment on.  On one hand, I want to make a crack about the husband getting the last laugh, but on the other, who would rear end a hearse?

Yeah, my first thought was: I'm glad that the tradition in the US is to pull off by the side of the road for a funeral procession.
