His driving was nothing to sneeze at

A Weymouth, Massachusetts man lost control of his pickup and plunged into Boston's Charles River.

The 42-year-old driver, Andrew Hanson, explained: a sneeze caused him to lose control of his vehicle.

Hanson was able to wade to shore after escaping from the truck, which was partially submerged in 4 feet of water. He was not seriously injured but was taken to a hospital as a precaution.

Lawrence Callahan of the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation said Hanson told him that after he sneezed, "the next thing he knew he was in the river."
