The UK's "The Independent" today carries the inquest report (page 5,
for UKers) on Cozy Powell, one-time drummer with bands such as Black
Sabbath and Whitesnake.  He was killed when a tyre punctured on his
SAAB and he lost control of the car.

He was also on the phone at the time, and his girlfriend recorded his
last words as: "Oh, shit!"

I wonder if he would have survived if he'd had both hands on the wheel?
