St. Joseph, Missouri - Icing conditions were blamed for a fatal accident on I-29 that left 68 year old Mitch Tanner caught dead by paramedics in his Rustler jeans.
First responder Nate McGowen was the first to catch the victim wearing the bloodied, shredded, intestine- strewn jeans that most likely were purchased with pride at a local Walmart or K-Mart in the $10 to $12 range.
Although most men would never be caught dead in Rustlers, it was Tanner's ill fate to do so.
McGowen, a thirteen year veteran first responder has seen his fair share of bloodied accident victims but nonetheless noted somberly, "Catching a guy dead in his Rustlers is just something that you never get used to."
