Moped accidents with drunk teenagers seem to be a common occurence in Sweden, especially in the summer. And I hate to make light of this poor girl's situation. I hope for the best for her.

The headline just seemed a little blah. I guess it’s as good as the recent Hawthorne Press front page headline: “Truck swerves to avoid cat.”
