Lord Jesus Christ (his real name) hit by car

Victim, injured in crosswalk, is treated in hospital for minor facial injuries

The Associated Press

NORTHAMPTON, Mass. - The victim might have forgiven the woman who ran him down in a Massachusetts crosswalk, but police haven't.

Police say a Pittsfield woman has been cited for running down a man named Lord Jesus Christ as he crossed a street in Northampton on Tuesday.

The 50-year-old man is from Belchertown. Officers checked his ID and discovered that, indeed, his legal name is Lord Jesus Christ. He was taken to the hospital for treatment of minor facial injuries and later released, according to the local paper, The Republican.

Christ was in a marked crosswalk at the time of the accident, Capt. Scott Savino told the paper.

Police say 20-year-old Brittany Cantarella was cited for failing to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk.

Okay, I can't resist one comment...another "wish I were a fly on the wall moment"...

Wonder if Brittany Cantarella is Catholic?

If so, wouldn't you just love to be in the confessional when Brittany informs her local Priest of her latest transgression?

"Bless me Father for I have sinned...You'll never guess whom I 'bumped into' today!"

Ooh, ooh, ooh...and that the accident occurred in "Mass."

And, and, and...that a crosswalk was involved.

Somebody STOP ME!!!

But, but, but...you don't think this was "a sign"...that God in not happy with he who would take "the Lord's name"...in vain or otherwise???
