'omg ... so horrible', she writes on hearing police radio; bit by bit the awful truth dawns
A US woman tweeted about a horrific car crash in real time, before finding out her husband was killed in the accident, police said.
Caran Johnson, 47, follows police scanner exchanges with her Twitter account ScanCouver, and began tweeting about the accident on Wednesday afternoon, The Seattle Times reported.
Her suspicions were confirmed when we arrived … It appeared that she knew
"This accident sounds horrible," she wrote in her first tweet, following up with "omg that is so horrible!!!" as details emerged of the accident on the 205 freeway in the northwestern US state of Washington.
Then she grew increasingly worried when she did not hear from her husband.
"I'm trying not to panic, but my husband left work early and he drives 205 to get home. He's not answering his phone," Johnson wrote.
"And he's late," she said. "Well he used his bluetooth, so he would answer his phone. He also wasn't feeling good so his work was concerned when he left."
