A rat ran up a Saucier woman’s leg while she was driving, causing her to flip her car on Tuesday.
Heather Morgan, 20, was taken to Stone County Hospital with minor injuries, said Mississippi Highway Patrol Master Sgt. Johnny Poulos.
Harrison County Fire Chief Pat Sullivan said Morgan was taking 20 caged rats to a pet store, when one of them got out and “went up her leg, causing her to lose control.” Morgan flipped her 2008 Chevy Cobalt on its side south of West Wortham Road, he said.
Sullivan said fire crews and Harrison County Animal Control officers spent 30-45 minutes capturing the rats. Some were killed in the accident. “Several didn’t make it,” he said.

Stone County is just south of me here in Mississippi. I do wish just once we'd make national news for something good, but apparently there aren't a lot of real bright people in my home state.
PS. Saucier is pronounced "so shay," just in case you were wondering.
Thanks for the pronunciation!
I'd imagined it as it's spelt.
