Sometimes This Thing Writes Itself

From the Star Telegram's web site this morning: FORT WORTH -- A woman believed to be in her 70s was struck and killed Tuesday after she left a west-side bar, police said. Investigators have identified a suspect, whose arrest was imminent, Sgt. Rodney Bangs, supervisor of the traffic investigation unit, said Wednesday. The woman was using a wheelchair when she was hit, Bangs said. her name was not released because her family had not yet been notified. The accident occurred about 2 a.m. Tuesday in the 8900 block of W. Camp Bowie Blvd., Bangs said. ``We believe she had just left the Electric Cowboy bar and was traveling the sidewalk, but the sidewalk dead-ended, so she had to get out on the road to continue westbound,'' Bangs said.
