Two Teens Hospitalized After Trying to Run Over Coyote With Truck

Two teenagers were hospitalized this weekend after they tried to run over a coyote with their truck.

The two 17-year-olds were driving a pickup truck on Old State Highway 88 in Rogers County on Sunday night.

They saw a coyote running in the field of a sod farm and drove into the field to run over the animal, according to a report from the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.

The investigating OHP trooper said the coyote took "evasive action" to get away from the truck. The driver turned the vehicle sharply in an attempt to follow the animal causing it to roll over one time.

I hope they're not seriously hurt, but someone needs to have a stern talk to them about animal abuse.

WTF is it with people?

They destroyed how much of that farmer's product with their stupidity? Something tells me the truck is going to be the least of their expenses.

I passed 3 coyotes, a raccoon and an unidentified furry object lying on the side of the road.

should be armed to the teeth with semi-automatic weapons at all times. They could have shot that varmint to smithereens and beyond.

I thought this was going to report the first documented instance of someone's conscience weighing so heavily on them that they needed orthopedic surgery to correct the damage. I should have known better.

Sorry they got hurt during their asshole stunt, but I hope the vehicle is trashed and they got some heavy fines.

I'm feeling some empathy for the parents. It's got to be hard knowing that your children will forever be known as idiots.
