She began tweeting at Trooper William Finn, a spokesman with the
Washington State Patrol who was at the scene of the crash, to see if he
had descriptions of the cars involved. They had interacted online before
regarding traffic incidents and once exchanging the recipe for a
low-carb pizza.
“Immediately, I went into overdrive mode and I stopped tweeting the whole thing,” Finn told CNN.
While he would normally tweet out an image of the wreck, this time was
an exception. “I didn’t want someone to find out over Twitter that their
husband passed away. I didn’t want her to find out that way. That is a
hard thing to go through.”
