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. |

Ouch. Wonder if she was using the cell phone prior to the crash. |

I'm waiting for more details to be revealed.
I'm guessing her arm was flung out of the vehicle during the crash. She might have, instinctively, went for the cell phone as soon as her car started losing control. |

| doubt it, too fast of a reaction. most probably she was on the phone as she lost control. |

That's what seems to be the most logical answer.
Another possibility: As she lost control, she tried to grab on to anything and ended up with the cell phone. (Close to my last guess but this one adds the element of random grabbing) |

| perhaps a local TA found her arm and put the cell phone in her hand, knowing that we would make a thread about it. |

Safe Driving 101:
If you lose control of your car, drop everything and call for help. You only have about 2-5 seconds before crashing, so you better be quick. |
