When local news reporters were sent to cover a car accident that left a police officer injured, they probably never imagined this would be the result.
Because the eyewitness that described the scene in Jackson, Mississippi, on WLBT-TV was one of the most memorable you’ll ever see.
The green-haired, green-taloned man in question – who goes by the name of Courtney Barnes – gave a description of the incident that was as colourful as his barnet, telling reporters about ‘the horrible, tragic situation’ he had seen.
To get across quite how badly it had affected him, he said: ‘I was on my way to buy a piece of burger from Burger King and I just stopped… because my hunger just went away.
‘When I seen that accident, I just had to understand that someone was experiencing this difficult moment – ma’am, I just cannot continue to bear to talk.’
