Love Hurts -- Darwin Awards style

I am a huge fan of the Darwin Awards, and pulled this little tidbit off their website:
In Sheffield, England, in 2002, Kim Fontana, 32, and Paul Cowley, 40, decided the walk to their respective flats was a bit too long for them to fulfill their amorous intentions. So, they found a road outside the pub where the streetlight had gone out that provided the perfect cover of darkness.
Despite three warnings -- one from a paramedic, one from a car driver, and another from a pedestrian, the couple continued in their lovemaking until the approach of a small single decker Nipper bus, who mistook the movement in the road for a pile of rubbish, and was unable to stop when he realized his mistake. The pair were killed instantly.
No word on whether or not they died with a smile on their faces.
