DEATH WITH BASEBALL BAT

HEADLINE FOUND ONLINE: Texas man chased down carjacker who dragged woman to death with baseball bat

When I first saw this headline, I didn't know what to do with it. It's one of the most convoluted headlines I've seen. Hey, it sounds like the carjacker dragged the woman to her death using a baseball bat.

The interesting thing is that I couldn't find the words baseball bat in the story, only in the headline.

A simple way to fix it is to make it a multiple headline.

Carjacker dragged woman to her death; Texas man chased him down with a baseball bat

It's two words longer, but it's clearer. I think.

 

The better option: Carjacker chased down after killing a woman with her car

That would pique your interest.
