Grand Theft Auto player saves family

That whole "video games are bad" thing took a hit last week when an 11 year old girl named Audrey Plique helped her family get out of the family car after it rolled over on the highway. How did she know what to do in a situation like that? From playing "Grand Theft Auto."

Click on "source" below for the full story, but here are the basics: the driver, Audrey's dad, felt lightheaded and their Jeep went off the road. The vehicle, "struck a guardrail and flipped four times before coming to rest on its side in the ditch. The roof of the vehicle caved in and the back window broke out." Audrey got the family out in time: "She just knew, from playing 'Grand Theft Auto.' She saw on there that when a car rolls over, it can blow up," her mother said.

Everybody survived; only the father had serious injuries, but he is expected to recover.

Now, since I'm not insane, I don't actually think that "Grand Theft Auto" saved this family's life. That said, playing GTA also doesn't make you a killer. Good for Audrey. She should fight crime when she grows up.
