Distractions Can Be Deadly
On Friday afternoon, I learned that the neighbor of a friend of mine was run over by her own car. If another neighbor had not seen 
what happened and responded, the woman probably would have died.
How did this happen? The woman drove to a home to meet a man and to oversee his doing some work there. The worker did not show up. For some reason, the woman stepped out of her car with the engine running. The car started to roll down the driveway, and her instinct was to reach in and turn the steering wheel because she couldn’t reach the ignition button. The car turned and she was caught underneath it, damaging her chest and lungs. A Medivac was called and she was transported to a nearby hospital.
