READING, PA
Police say 55-year-old Richard Paylor, of Fairless Hills, Bucks
County, was eating an apple as he drove on a busy highway in
Reading when he began choking Tuesday morning. Authorities say
Paylor then lost consciousness and crashed through a concrete
median.
The Reading Eagle reports investigators believe the apple was
dislodged when Paylor smacked his chest against the steering wheel.
Police recovered a chunk of apple from the dashboard.
Investigators spoke with doctors who backed up their conclusion
that the accident dislodged the offending fruit.
