In Tampa, FL a 16 year-old girl was almost killed after she saved her iPod from getting run over by a pickup truck. The girl noticed that she had dropped her iPod after crossing the street and decided to run back and grab it before it got smashed. She was successful in saving her iPod, but her body wasn’t so lucky. She suffered what looks to be a broken leg and is currently in stable condition at the local hospital.
The pickup truck is told to be in stable condition and there’s been no word on how the driver reacted to this accident. It’s also unknown if the girl will sue Apple for its slippery iPod Nano design or the device’s extremely miniature size. Lawmakers should think about whether to ban walking texting or listening to an iPhone, iPod, or iPod Touch? I’m sure that will make everyone happy.

I saw a guy walk into a tree the other day while looking at his iPhone.
NOTE TO ALL: Continually looking down while traveling is never a good idea!
