Man falls into Coma after Freak Accident
Altoona-    Charlie Sweetman fell into a coma Thursday after  being run over by stampeding cows in a freak cow-tipping accident.  Doctors are unsure of how long Mr. Sweetman will be unconcious but do hope the best.

"Man, we was just drinkin some beers and Charlie mentioned cow tippin so we ran out to old man Sanders field since he gots himself some of the nicest cows in these parts," Roy Moxely stated Friday, "Woo though you shoulda seen them cows run when Charlie started messin with them".

"I've never known Charlie to be so careless," Sweetmans fiance' Mary Lou said, "He's usually so down to earth ya know".  "We was plannin our weddin and now he's in a coma for God only knows how long. I have half a mind to give him the ring back." 

Sweetmans family is accepting donations to keep him in the hospital since they have already taken 3 loans out on the trailer. "I just hope people remember what a good guy Charlie was and help reach deep into their overalls and help us out." Billie Joe Sweetman pleaded, "He really is a good boy".

As for old man Sanders he declined an interview but did scream that the next person he sees on his property he would shoot right in the ass.
Local Altoona Vet Tommy Burke said the cows were doing fine and should have no emotional scaring from the incident.
