Woman Whose Buttocks Pierced By Pole: Don’t Text And Drive

A woman whose buttocks were impaled by a four-inch-diameter metal pole says her near-brush with death is a lesson often given but not heeded: Don’t text and drive.
Jahnz slammed into a guardrail pole, which went through the front light of her truck, pierced her in the buttocks, and continued through the seat behind her. Firefighters were able to get her out of the car. She was rushed to the hospital where she underwent emergency surgery; doctors expect her to make a full recovery.
