ISLAMORADA, Fla. — Sheriff’s dispatchers didn’t know what the problem was when they got a frantic 911 call at 1:20 a.m. All the caller could do is yell his address and tell them he was “crushed.”
According to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, deputies rushed to the scene, a residence at the 88-mile marker of U.S. 1.
When they got inside, they found the man who’d apparently fallen asleep in his recliner.
He was abruptly awakened when the head of a water buffalo that had been hanging on the wall next to him fell onto his lap.
According to Deputy Don Dalton, the head was so heavy the man couldn’t move, but his cell phone was close enough to his hand that he was able to call for help.

Call this delayed karma. The water buffalo was shot a decade ago and was given to its present owner.
