Pete Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 http://www.wlextv.com/Global/story.asp?S=4449021 Woman's Arm Severed In Car Accident 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. "Basically we stayed there and talked to them until the EMT drivers got there," said Vice. Rescuers used the jaws of life to get the Dotson and her daughter out of the truck. Both were flown to hospitals, and Dotson is listed in serious condition at UK Hospital. Her daughter is not in the hospital, and sheriff's officials say they believe she's going to be fine. Both were wearing seat belts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian R Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Sound like her signal went and her phone was "cut off" still no doubt the "long arm" of the law will be speaking to her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
