For some reason, we humans are fascinated by other people's misfortunes. Be it a neighbor's house burning down, pictures of a tornado-leveled town, or a car accident, we can't help but gawk. 22-year-old April Sterling of Dallas, TX was no exception. While driving on the LBJ Freeway one morning, her attention was caught by a fiery (but not fatal) 3-vehicle wreak in the opposite lanes. Like most morbidly curious people, she stopped to examine the scene more closely. Then, in a burst of inspiration (read: stupidity), she decided that witnessing the blazing accident just wasn't good enough... she wanted to take pictures.
Ms. Sterling got out of the car, intending to get closer to the accident so she could get better pictures. But in her attempt to cross multiple lanes of traffic, our aspiring paparazza was struck by a vehicle traveling in the HOV lane, throwing her across the freeway into the opposite lanes. She died at the hospital of her injuries, thus eliminating her from the gene pool and proving that photographic coverage of accidents should not be attempted by commuters.

I was trying to get video of that girl getting hit, but I locked myself in the car. Damn the bad luck.

When an accident occurs on the LBJ fwy traffic slows to a crawl in both directions. So, if this really did happen,there must be more to the story.

Passer-by killed as she tries to get closer look at LBJ Freeway crash

A 22-year-old woman was killed after she was hit by a car while trying to take pictures of a three-vehicle accident on LBJ Freeway early Sunday.
Dallas Fire-Rescue crews worked the scene of an accident that shut down LBJ Freeway at Plano Road on Sunday morning. The tractor-trailer crashed into two trucks, causing all three vehicles to burst into flames. April Sterling of Dallas and her friend were heading west on the freeway near Plano Road when they stopped so she could take pictures of the accident that occurred about 7:45 a.m., Dallas police Sgt. Gil Cerda said.

Ms. Sterling wanted to get closer to the accident scene so she ran into the HOV lane, where a vehicle traveling west struck her, throwing her into the eastbound lanes of the freeway. She was taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital where she died from her injuries.
