The Granddaughter asks "where were the police". Where the hell was she? She could have been carting granny around to her appointments. Maybe even rushed her to the hospital when she stroked out.
Thank God granny didn't kill any innocents. Maybe if she was wearing a seat belt (I don't know anyone over 70 who does), she wouldn't have died of head injuries.
Most of the people I know over 70 wear seat belts. Perhaps the ones you know are more ignorant.
The article said "internal injuries", not head injuries, and it didn't say whether or not she was wearing a seat belt.
It doesn't really matter. Dale Earnhardt died of head injuries while wearing a seat belt and lots of other safety gear. A relative of ours died of internal injuries while wearing a seat belt and traveling at a low rate of speed, when her vehicle was hit in the side by a drunk driver traveling at high speed.
Part of the problem, even if someone is wearing a seat belt, is the "slosh factor" - your brain and internal organs tend to keep moving even if your body is held in place by the seat belt. This can cause your brain to be bruised or break loose from the brain stem. It can also cause your aorta or other blood vessels to disattach from your heart.
