ARKANSAS -- A Little Rock woman was killed yesterday after leaping through
her moving car's sunroof during an incident best described as a "mistaken
rapture" by dozens of eye-witnesses.
Thirteen other people were injured after a twenty-car pile-up resulted from
people trying to avoid hitting the woman, who was apparently convinced that
the rapture was occurring when she saw twelve people floating up into the
air, and then passed a man on the side of the road who she believed was
Jesus.
"She started screaming `He's back! He's back!' and climbed out through the
sunroof and jumped off the roof of the car," said Everett Williams, husband
of 28-year-old Georgeann Williams who was pronounced dead at the scene.
"I was slowing down but she wouldn't wait till I stopped," Williams said.
"She thought the rapture was happening and was convinced that Jesus was
gonna lift her up into the sky," he went on to say.
"This is the strangest thing I've seen since I've been on the force," said
Paul Madison, first officer on the scene.
Madison questioned the man who looked like Jesus and discovered that he was
on his way to a toga costume party, when the tarp covering the bed of his
pickup truck came loose and released twelve blow-up sex dolls filled with
helium, which then floated up into the sky.
Ernie Jenkins, 32, of Fort Smith, who's been told by several of his friends
that he looks like Jesus, pulled over and lifted his arms into the air in
frustration and said "Come back," just as the Williams' car passed him, and
Mrs. Williams was sure that it was Jesus lifting people up into heaven as
they drove by him.
"I think my wife loved Jesus more than she loved me," the widower said when
asked why his wife would do such a thing.
When asked for comments about the twelve sex dolls, Jenkins replied "This is
all just too weird for me. I never expected anything like this to happen."
