Understatement?

"Quite bad"?

A woman was killed and her injuries are described as "quite bad"?

This is not to make light of yesterday's death of a pedestrian, but more the inanity of the comments surrounding it.

The police said the dead woman's injuries were "quite bad".  Why even have a police spokesman if this is all he can come up with.

I hope he's not the guy contacting her next of kin;

"Your mother was struck by a streetcar.  Her injuries are quite bad."
"Oh, is her leg broken?"
"No. She's dead."

Okay, so I guess there's no tactful way to end this one.

Now, something that could be considered quite bad is this post.

Hmm.....I think the ending is now quite good.
