This Woman Live Tweeted Her Husband’s Death
Caran Johnson monitors police scanners in order to live-tweet police activity (really?). She experienced a tragic surprise Wednesday when she discovered the car crash she was tweeting about was one in which her husband had died in. Caran began following the accident near I-205 at around 2 pm. Almost 2 hours later, she discovered the accident had claimed the life of her husband.

@Col_cops i hate that section of I205 S. too many on ramps, speeders and too few lanes.

#Clark911 One lane of I-205 is closed. WSP will likely have to block the whole interstate to allow the helicopter to land.

They said they are so close to SWWMC, they can take the patient there, instead of Lifeflight. #clark911

This is when panic set in.
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.
— ~Caran (@Miercatte) December 4, 2013
and he's late.
— ~Caran (@Miercatte) December 4, 2013
@Col_cops @wspd5pio do you have descriptions of involved vehicles?
— ~Caran (@Miercatte) December 4, 2013
@KF7PSC well he uses his bluetooth, so he would answer his phone. he also wasn't feeling good so his work was concerned when he left

Then that “oh s**t” moment.
i'm a basketcase
— ~Caran (@Miercatte) December 4, 2013
I just called his work and he was feeling faint when he left work. #panic
— ~Caran (@Miercatte) December 4, 2013
i just called 911 and they transferred me after I gave them his license number and told me that they will call me back. wtf?
— ~Caran (@Miercatte) December 4, 2013
@JKCline86 @troyglidden why would they want to call me back?
— ~Caran (@Miercatte) December 4, 2013
