Fast Food Nearly Kills Someone Quickly This Time

Yesterday, NBC 10 ran a breaking exclusive story of a man who choked on an onion ring and then crashed his truck because of it. Miraculously, though, the crash saved his life because it dislodged the onion ring.

Bryan Rocco has a hunger for fast food but never thought a Burger King onion ring would almost kill him, NBC 10’s Ted Greenberg reported. “I was eating my lunch on the road,” Rocco said, adding that he soon found himself “gasping for air.”

Nice lead-in. Wouldn’t that work for every story where someone dies or nearly dies? “Bob Smith liked skydiving, but he never thought his ‘chute wouldn’t open!”
