A rat caused a bizarre fatal car crash in Miami. According to the Miami Fire Rescue Chief, the rat had gotten to the top of one of the street lights and chewed through a cable, causing an explosion that knocked out the light. People nearby heard the explosion and walked over to the darkened area to find the dead, still smoking rat on the ground below the pole.
Unfortunately, because it was so dark, within a couple of minutes two cars crashed at the intersection and then hit the pedestrians, killing one person and injuring five others.
