Sandy's scary story about the runaway car in Missouri is going to be featured on the Today show this morning. Dash cam video.
Oh darn I bet I missed it, just saw this and we are watching GMA. I wonder if it will be on U-Tube
My husband seen some of this video on the news and said that this lady driving this car was "one calm cool lady".
Kudos to that woman for staying calm....she did some wild driving!
She must've been a basket-case by the time her ordeal came to an end. I know one thing for sure. I'd be getting rid of that car pronto! No way would I ever trust it again.
Wow that must have been terrifying!! I agree if it were me I wouldnt touch that vehicle again either. How did this end? Did she have to wait until she ran out of gas?
She was talking to the highway patrol on her cell phone, they told her to push on the gas and the brake at the same time, and she did that and the car finally came to a stop. That was the story that NBC had on this morning, Sandy heard a slightly different version.Quote:

Good thing she had the phone on her, I know who dosnt these days but sometimes I forget mine at home. Glad it turned out the way it did, thanks for letting me know that! ;)Quote:

I check three local news sources all the time and they all have a different twist on things. Only those who were there know the real truth.
You're right about that! It was such a scary event. I was wondering how a policeman could get into her car that was going 100 miles an hour, sounds like the plot for a good adventure movie!Quote:

I read the news paper when I get it and can circle all sorts of misspelled words and odd sentence structures.Quote:

Can you imagine driving like that and being on the cell phone, and reaching down to pull up on the gas pedal????? I would never get in that car again......or any of that kind! Praise the Lord that NO ONE was hurt!
I thought I was the only one who did that. I do it in books that I'm reading, too . . .Quote:

Haha!! LOLS!!! That is the truth, I can carry in a million bags loaded up to my elbows and unlock the door and drag them inside and my husband is behind me with water and soda that i would have usually carried in standing there when i open up the door again saying, thanks for holding the door. I was like "ok G.I. Joe" I'm horrible I know. sigh.... so off topic.Quote:

At the end of the video it looked very much like a Chevy bow tie to me as the policeman pulled up behind her car. Some said it was an SUV, looked like a sedan to me.Quote:

It was on HLN this morning, saw the poor lady getting out of the vehicle. She looked like she had shakey knees, poor thing. She sure did an awesome job.
Holy cow. I would need new clothing after that.
