Zombies in car crash confuse onlookers

By at 2:01 pm Sunday, Jul 11

A group of cosplayers dressed as zombies got into a car crash near Portland, OR; their gory makeup led witnesses to believe that they were gravely injured:
Police said that in their investigation they learned that the people inside the car were dressed as zombie costumes and they were headed to a party at the time of the crash.

Sgt. Greg Stewart said people who witnessed the crash initially thought the victims' injuries were much more serious, because of the zombie costumes.

"We're glad that everyone is alive, despite being 'undead'," Sgt. Stewart said, referring to the costumes.
