MONTESANO, Wash. (AP) - An Elma man was killed by accidentally urinating on a downed power line after a one-car crash near Montesano.

Grays Harbor County sheriff's Deputy Dave Pimentel said Monday that 50-year-old Roy Messenger was not seriously hurt after he collided with a power pole Friday night and called a relative to pull his car out of the ditch.

When family members arrived they found Messenger electrocuted. Pimentel says Messenger apparently urinated into a roadside ditch but didn't see the live wire.

Pimentel says there will be an autopsy but burn marks indicated the way the electricity traveled through the body.

Ouch!

That'll leave a mark. Wow. Sorry for his family.

SHOCKING!!

Ouch,is right.Sad.Good luck,

Not sure where your story came from but the Daily World didn't mention anything about pissing on a live wire.

If your story is indeed what happened,.................man, hell of a way to go after surviving a car crash.

Damn. Just got back to the 'puter and saw that and raced here to post it.

I wonder if he looked like a burnt match.

Heard about this on Facebook.... I was as shocked as all of you.

lmfao

It is pretty shocking.

i was switching between the two reports and am unsure which one is the current information.

That is a pisser.

That's not my kind of weenie roast! yay.

If true, this chap is definitely up for a posthumous Darwin Award.

If the guy is out driving and is that hammered it could be The Fates humorous way
of saving some other, innocent persons life.
