Hannah Sidebottom, [ Really?]another witness, said the incident was a surprise.

"I saw them coming down like a mountain of, it looked like dirt but obviously wasn't, and then, there was nothing we could do they were literally on top of us," she told the affiliate.

Only one person was hospitalized, but the sheep did not fare as well. Less than 10 of them are expected to survive.

Animal welfare officials said the road was littered with dead and dying sheep.

"They were confronted with a very horrific, very distressing sight," the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals said.

*ALERTS TO WORLDWIDE THREATS IN 2012*
*From JOHN CLEESE *

The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent events in Syria and
have therefore raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon,
though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A
Bit Cross." The English have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940
when tea supplies nearly ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from
"Tiresome" to "A Bloody Nuisance." The last time the British issued a
"Bloody Nuisance" warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish
Armada.


The Scots have raised their threat level from "Pissed Off" to "Let's get the
Bastards." They don't have any other levels. This is the reason they have
been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.


The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror
alert level from "Run" to "Hide." The only two higher levels in France are
"Collaborate" and "Surrender." The rise was precipitated by a recent fire
that destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the
country's military capability.

Italy has increased the alert level from "Shout Loudly and Excitedly" to
"Elaborate Military Posturing." Two more levels remain: "Ineffective Combat
Operations" and "Change Sides."

The Germans have increased their alert state from "Disdainful Arrogance" to
"Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs." They also have two higher
levels: "Invade a Neighbour" and "Lose."

Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat
they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.

The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy.
These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy
can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.

Australia, meanwhile, has raised its security level from "No worries" to
"She'll be all right, Mate." Two more escalation levels remain: "Crikey! I
think we'll need to cancel the Barbie this weekend!" and "The Barbie is
cancelled." So far no situation has ever warranted use of the last final
escalation level.

Regards,
John Cleese,
British writer, actor and very tall person



And as a final thought - Greece is collapsing, the Iranians are getting
aggressive, and Rome is in disarray. Welcome back to 430 BC.

Senior police in Perth have revealed a man impersonating a police officer gained access to high-security facilities on nine separate occasions.

Police Commissioner Karl O'Callaghan says it has been a wake-up call for the force.

He says it will be alleged the 18-year-old man was wearing a stolen police uniform when he entered the Perth Watch House six times, crime headquarters at Curtin House twice, and police headquarters once during May.

The man showed up at the lock-up with a full police utility belt, complete with handcuffs, police issue baton and holster.

Mr O'Callaghan also revealed the impersonator did more than wander around inside buildings.

He says the man turned up at a traffic accident pretending to be a policeman.

"He has been involved in other incidents; as far as I know he's attended a crash, but I'm not sure about what he did there, apart from render assistance," he said.
