“I leaned out to spit and I leaned too far,” Robbin Doolin, 31, reportedly told police investigating an incident on the freeway in Kansas City, Mo. “It’s certainly not prudent to open your car door on a highway,” said a police spokesman, “especially when you’re not wearing a seat belt.” As far as police can figure, Doolin was driving northbound when she opened her door to spit, and fell out of her car. Despite multiple and serious injuries, after finally sliding to a stop she jumped to her feet and chased after her car. It was moving too fast for her to catch it, and she was taken to the hospital by ambulance. (Kansas City Star) ...Don’t worry: odds are her car ran out of gas long before it got to Des Moines.
