.... Deadly.

A Letcher County woman suffered a horrible injury early Thursday when
her arm was severed in a car crash on the Mountain Parkway in Clark
County.

Jacqueline Dotson and her six-year-old daughter had to be cut out of
their vehicle after the accident in which Dotson veered into the
median and over-corrected, rolling her truck over the guardrail and
landing upside down after flipping several times.

Several people stopped to help, and it turns out, the good samaritans
may very well have saved Dotson's life. Sheila Vice, a nurse's aide,
and an off-duty EMT from another county stopped to help, and put a
tourniquet on Dotson's arm to stop the bleeding. Her arm was found
near the accident still clutching a cell phone.

"Basically we stayed there and talked to them until the EMT drivers
got there," said Vice.

Rescuers used the jaws of life to get Dotson and her daughter out of
the truck. Both were flown to hospitals, and Dotson is listed in
serious condition at UK Hospital. Her daughter is not in the hospital,
and sheriff's officials say they believe she's going to be fine.

Both were wearing seat belts.
