Internationally Ridiculed

Craig Allard, the late 38-year-old Westbrook man who was sideswiped by the sideview mirror of a box truck while evading police on Saturday, was awarded an "International Bonehead Award" by Webby.com.

As the linked write-up points out, could Allard's demise bring Westbrook its first Darwin Award, an annual award named in honor of "those who improve the species...by accidentally removing themselves from it!"?
