Thinning the Herd

I mean, come on. This is too funny. A Grandview woman fell out of her car on the highway when she opened her door while not wearing a seat belt to spit.

Robbin Doolin, 31, of Grandview suffered serious injuries in the 8 a.m. accident in the Triangle. She was recovering at a hospital Friday night, where she declined to comment. . . Driving her purple Chevrolet Malibu north on U.S. 71, Doolin was approaching the eastbound Interstate 470 ramp when she opened her door, police said. 'I leaned out to spit and I leaned too far,' she later told an officer. Another motorist looking in her rearview mirror saw Doolin’s car hit a guardrail and saw Doolin tumbling across the pavement. Doolin then hopped up — to the amazement of witnesses — and chased her car, which careened down an embankment toward a construction site. The car was moving too fast. Doolin could not catch up.

One has to wonder: exactly what did she have in her mouth? [Links added]
