I can get a little chuckle out of this now, since it all came out well.
I happened upon an accident scene this morning on the parkway near my home. The car was upside-down at the bottom of the embankment. There was one person near the car and a car stopped in the emergency lane. I stopped to see if I could help. The person standing near the car was the driver of the stopped car. I asked if anyone was hurt and had they called 911. They had and he had already assessed that the driver wasn't hurt, but was still in the car. I knelt down and looked through the broken rear window to see the driver up in the front, and talking on the phone! I'm not saying the phone caused the accident, since the other driver witnessed her just lose it on the slick road. It's amazing how dependent we are on these devices, that by god come hell or high water, we're going to take/make that call.
I know that she probably called her loved ones to tell them what had happened, but I found it a bit comical that she did it before she was even vertical.
Other than an Infiniti that went to the beyond, all turned out well and she will have a story to tell her grandchildren.
