Vancouver Woman Accidentally Tweets Husbands Death
Vancouver, Washington – Caran Johnson is a local news hound that scoops traffic accidents and local news stories to the local media. This past Thursday afternoon, she began responding to tweets about a car accident along a troublesome corridor of I-205. In passing, she tweeted that her husband takes that route home and that he had left work early which would put him in the vicinity during the time of the accident.
Mrs. Johnson later tweeted that she had been unable to reach her husband by phone. It turns out that her husband had been feeling faint when he left work early and co-workers were concerned about his health; he is an epileptic. Next, Mrs. Johnson received tweets that there was one confirmed fatality in the accident which was described with the word horrific. When she realized that her husband was late, she began to panic and shortly thereafter confirmed that he was the fatality.
The scene of the accident is one which is known for being accident prone due to the number of merge lanes that convene on that section of the interstate just as the driving lanes narrow. A donation fund has been opened on her behalf which seeks to put together enough money to cover her husband’s final expenses.
I’m trying not to panic, but my husband left work early and he drives 205 to get home. he’s not answering his phone.
