Don’t Cry Over a Wrecked Dodge
September 2, 2010 by Justin Loyear
It’s time for a compassion self check. If a suicidal person jumps 40 feet from a building and lands on your car, what is the first thing you think about? Do you think “I wonder if the poor person died or how badly they are injured” or do you go “Why? Why my car out of all the cars in the city?’ Well, this actually happened and Maria McCormack voiced the latter choice.
When Tom Magill fell 400 feet and reached a believed speed of 126 mile-per-hour, it was McCormack’s 2008 Dodge Charger which broke Magill’s fall and likely saved his life. McCormack had let her husband borrow the car and is regretting letting him do so in addition to the recent work she just put in on the now totaled car.
McCormack is not totally heartless after losing the one car she loved. When she was told by Geico, her insurance company, that her car was totaled and could sue Magill for damages, McCormack said “I’m not going to do that. He has enough to worry about.”
