Here's an interesting little story. First and foremost, I'm not sure I
understand why a woman who called 911 to report a traffic collision is

even admits that at least one other person also called 911 to report

While I'm the first to admit that Tucson's speed limits are

About a year ago I witnessed a young DAB rear-end a truck while messing
with a CD. The CD broke and pierced her hand.
This morning while waiting for a walk light, a car rear-ended a vehicle
