Beer Belly Protects Man During Car Wreck

Thursday, February 08, 2007

An oversized belly did a lucky milkman one big favor.

When a hijacker jumped into his milk delivery van, Andrew Creed chased after it and grabbed on to an open window, the U.K. Sun reported. But Creed lost his grip when the thief started zig-zagging to shake him loose, and he got thrown under.

Creed got banged up to the tune of two broken fingers, cuts to his head and tire marks on his legs and stomach.

But Creed was able to see the bright side:

“I reckon my beer belly saved me from being hurt a lot worse,” he said.

The thief fled after abandoning the vehicle.
