A Southwest Washington woman unknowingly live-tweeted her husband’s fatal car accident Wednesday afternoon.

The collision happened about 1:40 p.m. Wednesday on southbound Interstate 205.Caran Johnson, who tweets using the handle@scancouver, is known for tweeting news in the city of Vancouver, Wash., while listening to police scanners.

She re-tweeted information about the accident from the local newspaper, then details from the State Patrol outlining closures around the collision scene.

“I'm trying not to panic, but my husband left work early and he drives 205 to get home,” Johnson tweeted at 2:17 p.m. about her husband, Craig. “He's not answering his phone.”

She then tweeted that her husband left work after feeling faint, and asked other Twitter users to send her more information about the collision. Johnson also questioned how long she should wait before calling police – and later called 911 for help.

During her search for more information, Johnson also re-tweeted the State Department of Transportation giving estimates for how long delays would be around the fatal collision scene.

Then, at 3:50 p.m., she posted: “it's him. he died.”

Johnson’s next tweet Monday night thanked Twitters users “for the prayers and thoughts” and said she’d “reply to everyone later tonight.”
