Yikes!

Headboard crashes through windshield, 1 killed

'LARAMIE, Wyo. (AP) - A Loveland woman was killed after a heavy headboard blew out of the bed of a pickup truck and crashed into the windshield of a Suburban in Wyoming.

Wyoming Highway Patrol says 56-year-old pickup driver Brian Soukup of Livermore, Colorado, was cited for driving with an unsecured load.

The accident happened Monday on Wyoming 230 about 10 miles south of Laramie.

The 250-pound headboard blew out of the bed of Soukup's pickup and crashed into the windshield of a Suburban that 54-year-old Lois A. Dewey was driving.

The Suburban went off the road, struck a culvert and rolled over, killing Dewey. A Texas woman in Dewey's vehicle was injured.

The headboard also struck a van, but no other injuries were reported.'
