This is a true story about a Wenatchee, WA man who blamed a pterodactyl for a car accident that he was involved in.
WENATCHEE — A 29-year-old Wenatchee man told police a pterodactyl caused him to swerve into the oncoming lane of traffic and drive his car into a light pole. When police asked the man what caused the accident, his one-word answer was “pterodactyl”.
Apparently Marty McFly here couldn’t control the Delorean on re-entry.

Pterodactyl literally means “winged finger”, so he obviously meant that someone in a hanglider gave him the finger, thus instigating the accident. He simply said “Pterodactyl” for the sake of brevity.
