"Mountains of trash" inside car blamed for wreck

Police in West Yarmouth said there was so much trash in 53-year-old Ann Ann Biglan's Ford Focus that some of it fell onto the gas and brake pedals, causing her to lose control. While losing control, Biglan drove through a post office parking space, over the curb and across a freeway. She then hit a Ford Explorer and backed over another sidewalk before finally crashing into a flowerpot in a gas station's parking lot.

#8  Severe hoarding is a standard flavour of Obsessive-Compulsive disorder. There are some very good medicines for that nowadays, but it usually doesn't get diagnosed until the sufferers are in their 40s to 50s. Get Miss Biglan to a good psychiatrist and she'll be totally cured within a year, probably less.

#6  Officer John Dimitres says the woman suffers from a quote -- 'unusual and extreme hoarding' disorder.

And I'm sure, up here in Mass., that rates her a "disability check".

#5  Anything on the floor under the driver is dangerous. Friends-of-friends, driving thru Alice Springs, had a can of WD40 roll under the brake pedal as they came up to a red light. They got hit by a truck, weren't killed but terrible injuries. I took a lesson from that one.
