Coffee-loving parrot distracted driver before crash

A woman says before she drove her car off a road in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, her coffee-loving pet parrot distracted her.

Angel Holyfield, 35, of Uniontown, was driving in South Union Township when she says she looked down at her parrot, which was inside the vehicle.



According to Holyfield, her parrot, which likes to drink coffee, was pecking at the lid of the coffee cup and distracted her. She then drove her car off the road and into a guard rail.

Holyfield was transported to Uniontown Hospital and treated for a broken forearm and facial lacerations from the airbags. Police say there was bird feed in the cup holder next to the coffee cup. The parrot was safely removed from the vehicle at the scene. Police say charges are pending.
