I guess the legal community would be inclined to call this a "suspension of Habeas Corpus" :


Drivers traveling on a busy Bucks County, Pennsylvania, road on Friday had to navigate an unusual obstruction--a gurney carrying a corpse.

A Bucks County Coroner's Office van was traveling down the 100 block of E. Street Road in Lower Southampton, Pennsylvania, around noon when the vehicle's rear door malfunctioned, the coroner's office confirms. The body then rolled out of the van and onto the road near the Bucks Crossing Shopping Center.

County officials say the coroner employee driving the van realized what had occurred immediately and circled back to the scene.

A bystander helped the driver remove the body from the road.

A county news release stated that "Coroner’s Office deeply regrets this incident and will take steps to ensure that it is not repeated."

I guess the first question they will look at is whether the van was manufactured by General Motors.

Somebody forgot to "buckle up."
