Update - girl won't get her left foot back
Week ago, Kaitlyn Lasitter had her feet cut off by a ride at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom. Doctors reattached the right foot while everyone remained hopeful that they could save the left. Kaitlyn has now been released from hospital, and no, they could not save the left foot.
"Doctors at the hospital reattached Lasitter's right foot, according to a family statement released earlier this month. Doctors were unable to save her left foot."
Dag.
This ends the SNP coverage of this event. Stay tuned next week when a 6 year-old gets his toes eaten by a water snake.
Dead cheerleader might have been texting while driving
Two or so weeks ago, four cheerleaders and one not-cheerleader were killed in a horrific accident in New York State. New developments have shown that there were text messages recorded coming from the driver's phone shortly before the crash.
"Text messages were sent back and forth on a 17-year-old girl's cell phone moments before her sport utility vehicle slammed head-on into a truck, killing her and four other recent high school graduates, police said Friday."
If that isn't stupid enough, it turns out she shouldn't have been driving at all.
"Goodman only had a junior driver's license, making it illegal for her to be driving late at night or to be carrying so many young passengers."
I find it hard to believe the girl was actively passing another vehicle, at night, while text messaging someone. She probably gave her phone to someone else in the car. But still.
