While browsing the Concord Monitor newpaper online to day, I came a across this article:
CONCORD, N.H. - New Hampshire International Speedway Owner Bob Bahre was seriously injured in a car accident Thursday night when his car went off the road FULL STORY HERE: http://www.concordmonitor.com/storie...nt013104.shtml
Now is this just something of local intrest or is it irony (Or does it only become ironic if the cause of the accident was speeding?)

Ironic, but only of interst to locals and NASCAR fans.
I heard Alex trebic got his truck airborn when he fell
asleep behind the wheel.

Can't a coincidence be ironic?

It's not exactly ironic, but there was a young woman in my area that was driving home in the wee hours of the morning. On the only hill within miles, she lost control of her car, rolled down the hill and landed upside down on a railroad track. Her car then started on fire and, guess what, it was then hit by a train. That makes a total of three different ways you can die in one accident. She did, by the way.

Coincidence. Something is ironic only when there are unintended consequences. For example, a man buys a gun in order to protect his family, but mistakenly shoots his son because he thinks that his son is an intruder. Another example is if a man dies in a train wreck because he was afraid of dying in a plane accident. Thus, the news story is only coincidental, not ironic. I hope this helps.
Have fun... Tony.

Can't award you the dollar amount, because you forgot to phrase it as a question.
The answer is: "His truck achieves liftoff."
and the question is: "What happens when Alex Trebic takes a nap while driving?"

Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
