This whole article had me laughing--not so many mistakes (although there is one) but the phrasing just put a comedic spin on things.

Lines that made me laugh:
"According to police, the car left the road for the lawn of an LDS meetinghouse. It went through two fences and hit a tree before coming to rest alongside the church. "The tree slowed it down quite a bit," said Unified police detective Ken Hansen. "Had it not hit the tree, it probably would have gone inside the church where there was a funeral going on." Hansen said the car's abrupt stop lit the bushes and shrubs next to the church on fire. The greenery, in turn, lit the car, endangering both passengers. A man attending the funeral soon extinguished the flames with a church fire extinguisher."
I don't know what it was about that passage that cracked me up...but just imagine it! Like a keystone cops episode.
And then this error: "Police are investigating potential impairments, including speed."
Speed is an impairment? I guess maybe that's the problem you have when you've got ADHD.
