Fox Wrecks Car – A Tennessee man named Tommy Fox who hit a fox with his car and put the animal in the back seat wrecked his car when the fox awoke and bit him.
Tommy Fox was driving home from work Wednesday at about 11 p.m. when a beautiful red fox dashed in front of his SUV.
After he ran over the fox, he stopped his GMC Jimmy to get the fox to cut off its tail for a souvenir, and he put it in the back seat, said Dale Grandstaff, a Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency wildlife officer.
“The tails are real bushy and pretty and thick this time of year,” Grandstaff said.
Things then took an odd turn when Fox heard a noise coming from his back seat and realized the fox was alive — and not happy.
The driver desperately searched for something to hold the fox back and prevent him from climbing into the front seat and biting him, he told Grandstaff.
As he looked in the back seat to get a blanket to block the fox, he took his attention from the road and the SUV crossed the center line and wrecked in a ditch, flipping once and landing upside down.
Tommy Fox suffered minor injuries and bruises and was treated at the scene.
The fox was found dead in the SUV, but it was not clear whether the fox died of injuries caused by being hit by the SUV or if it died in the wreck.
It’s not known if Tommy Fox got to keep the fox tail as a souvenir.
