Someone please take away David Brooks' car keys

I am not making this up:

A man drove his car into a crowd at a New London waterfront festival Saturday afternoon, injuring more than two dozen people, police said. The car narrowly missed Democratic Senate candidate Ned Lamont, who was campaigning nearby, a spokesman said.

At least three of Lamont's campaign workers were hurt. One, Susan Goldman of Norwich, suffered a broken leg, said Lamont spokesman Tom Swan. The car missed Lamont by 6 to 18 feet, Swan said.

All 27 of the injured, many of them with scrapes, cuts and bruises, were expected to be treated at Lawrence and Memorial Hospital by late Saturday or early today and released, said Kelly Anthony, a hospital spokesman.


Just kidding about the headline. But it IS a good one, isn't it?

No charges had been filed against the driver of the car, Robert Laine, 89, of Wallingford, late Saturday. New London and Amtrak police were still investigating.
