I just saw this on the Seattle Times website. Priceless

SUV rolls in Covington parking lot, killing passenger
By Seattle Times staff


A 20-year-old Kent man died early Saturday in a Covington parking lot when
the vehicle he was riding in overturned, according to the King County
Sheriff's Office.

The man, whose name has not yet been released, was hanging out a passenger
window of a sports utility vehicle in the parking lot of the Fred Meyer
store at Southeast 272nd Street and 168th Place Southeast, said sheriff's
Sgt. John Urquhart.

He died around 2:25 a.m. It is believed the driver, a 22-year-old Kent man,
was doing doughnuts in the parking lot when the vehicle rolled. Neither the
driver nor an 18-year-old passenger were injured. The driver was booked into
the King County Jail on suspicion of vehicular homicide, Urquhart said.
