With her luck, she probably didn't end her cell phone transmission and has now rung up a heck of a bill on top of it all. The Grim Reaper's apprentice must have been working that day.

It certainly seems that way. When your number is up, it's time to go.

There is no indication that the driver of the truck was an illegal immigrant.
But I suppose it's possible.

You would think that others in her group would have prevented the neighbor from running her over!

...it is possible that investigators ultimately won't know what killed her.

Our own Michael Rivero will get to the bottom of it.........and link it TWA flight 800, Vince Foster...

Wow, I wonder what this woman's horiscope said that day.

"You will have an absolutely wonderful five star day today, if you can only steer clear from bees' stingers, horses' hooves, and rolling tires."

LOL!

Wonder if there is any indication that the bees were illegal immigrants too, Killer Bees? Was the horse a Paso Fino from South America too?

This poor woman did not have a chance. This is an international conspiracy.
