Stolen pickup found impaled on 30 feet of steel guardrail

ABERDEEN, Idaho (AP) — Authorities say a stolen pickup truck was found impaled on 30 feet of guardrail in Idaho, but the driver was nowhere to be found.

Steve Howser, the general manager of The Aberdeen -Springfield Canal Company near Pocatello, said one of his workers was driving along the canal Sunday when he came across the pickup that was run completely through by a steel guard rail and left partially dangling in the water.

The steel rail pierced the engine compartment and passed through the passenger side of the cab before exiting the rear window, with several yards of the rail left jutting out from the back of the vehicle.
