That is scary to even think that something like this could happen and and very sad to know that it did.
DENVER -- A Colorado State Patrol trooper was not sent to a car crash for nine minutes after it was called into a 911 center because a dispatcher was watching a Christmas movie, officials said Monday. In that time, the Mazda sedan that had struck a deer sat disabled in a lane of traffic, with no lights or flashers. Before troopers arrived, a second driver approaching the Mazda swerved to avoid it, lost control and rolled into the center median, officials said. Heather Clinton, 20, and her brother, Earl “E.J.” Clinton, 22 were ejected. Heather was killed.
