Girl hit by toilet on way to school

A teenage girl in Thorndike, Maine had an unhappy surprise first thing on Monday morning when a portable toilet fell onto her Jeep as she was driving to school.

A man who had just made a portable toilet delivery to Mount View High School forgot to lash a second one down and it fell off his truck as he drove away.

The girl swerved to avoid the flying toilet but it hit her Jeep Cherokee despite her efforts. “Fortunately, it was clean,” Chief Deputy Jeff Trafton of the Waldo County Sheriff’s Office said of the toilet.

The truck driver, Ronnie Furrow, was issued with a summons for having an unsecured load. No one was injured.
