Man says God ordered him to ram vehicle at 100 mph
(12-01) 12:14 PST SAN ANTONIO (AP) --

A man who rammed his truck into a woman's vehicle on a highway early Friday told authorities he crashed into her while going more than 100 mph because God told him "she needed to be taken off the road."

The truck rear-ended the car on U.S. Highway 281, both vehicles spun across a median then came to a stop along a barrier in the opposite lanes. Both drivers suffered only minor injuries.

"He just said God said she wasn't driving right, and she needed to be taken off the road," Bexar County Sheriff's Office spokesman Kyle Coleman said in the online edition of the San Antonio Express-News. "God must have been with them, 'cause any other time, the severity of this crash, it would have been a fatal."

The pickup driver did not tell police how the woman was driving. Police could not find alcohol or drugs in either driver.

A psychiatric evaluation has been ordered for a man.

Why am I not surprised he is a Texan?

...when it turns out she was the signal for armageddon to begin.

I won't rule it out. :D

2. "God must have been with them..."
So, that's is not a crazy thing to say, but believing god wanted him to run her off the road is. Why didn't god just tell the other driver, "Hey, no, I dodn't say to run anyone off the road! Slow down!"
