Stepping before stopping

2008 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

"A Smolan woman was hurt Saturday night after she stepped out of a moving car.

According to the Saline County Sheriff's Office, 43-year-old Lori Baxter hit her head on the ground as she was exiting a car that was travelling at about ten miles-per-hour.

The incident happened in the 4800 Block of Smolan Road at around 5:45 Saturday night. Baxter's 16-year-old daughter was driving, and a 21-year-old daughter was also in the car. She was apparently trying to prove to them that the car was not moving too quickly to exit.

Baxter was transported to Salina Regional Health Center with a head injury, and then transferred to a Wichita hospital. "

This would need a funnier write-up - but the bit that made it for me was "She was apparently trying to prove to them that the car was not moving too quickly to exit"

I guess what she really proved was that Mom is not always right. While I agree with Tracy that this could use a better write up, it is unique enough for me to pass it on. Thanks Ype
