Woman's Arm Severed In Car Accident (with cell phone intact)
A Letcher County woman suffered a horrible injury early Thursday when her arm was severed in a car crash on the Mountain Parkway in Clark County.

Jacqueline Dotson and her six-year-old daughter had to be cut out of their vehicle after the accident in which Dotson veered into the median and over-corrected, rolling her truck over the guardrail and landing upside down after flipping several times.

Several people stopped to help, and it turns out, the good samaritans may very well have saved Dotson's life. Sheila Vice, a nurse's aide, and an off-duty EMT from another county stopped to help, and put a tourniquet on Dotson's arm to stop the bleeding. Her arm was found near the accident still clutching a cell phone.

2. The cell phone?
Damn, I'm sorry. I know that was wrong and that that I'm surely going to burn in hell, but I just couldn't resist.

3. Reminds me of a line from SNL...
During Weekend Update, Amy Poehler says, "A recent study has shown that 10% of drivers use cell phones while crashing."
