Rumor has it that said BMW driver above was otherwise pre-occupied on her phone. But that's just what I heard.
Austin American Statesman:
Austin woman dies in wreck while talking on cell phone
Friend on other end of call hears the crash
Friends said 29-year-old Sarah Polkowski of Austin often talked on her cell phone while she was driving.
In the midst of a conversation Friday with her best friend, she lost control of her red BMW on a rain-slick road, swerved into oncoming traffic and hit a commercial truck.
Her friend "heard her intake of breath, like a startle," said her husband, Stephen Polkowski, "and then something that sounded like the start of a crash before the call ended."
Austin police, who were still investigating the cause of the noon wreck on RM 2222, said witnesses saw the westbound BMW veer into the eastbound lanes.
