Woman in Washington State Live Tweets Her Husband’s Fatal Car Crash
Just after 1:30 p.m. on December 4th, the WSDOT tweeted an alert saying that emergency responders were on the way to a 2-car collision in Vancouver, Washington, and to give them room. The Columbian Metrodesk added that they were sending Life Flight to the scene. One women casually chimed in how dangerous that area was. What she didn't know, yet, was Life Flight was sent for her husband.
She continually tweeted as she got more and more nervous knowing her husband takes that ramp and that he left work early.
The woman (under the Twitter handle ScanCouver) has blocked her Twitter account, no doubt due to the out-pour of condolences. Here's what she tweeted.
@Col_cops i hate that section of I205 S. too many on ramps, speeders and too few lanes.
