Frank Praum is never late.
"If I were to have set an appointment for 3:00 to have my testicles flattened with a hammer, i'd be there at 2:45," Praum claims.
So when a snowstorm hit the Indiana area on December 23rd, no one panicked more than Frank Praum. He was on his way to work at the Bloody Parrot Birdseed and Steak Depot when his car slid into the bumper of Marie Caldwell, 93, of Evansville, killing her instantly.
"The first thing that crossed my mind was that my boss is gonna be mad at me," Praum said. "I called him on my cell phone and told him that a little old lady I hit has her head stuck in a windshield, and God bless him, he was cool about it. I guess the Christmas spirit was in him."
Once Praum's Yugo was back on the highway and away from snowdrifts, it was business as usual for the Indiana native. Well, sort of. The Depot was closed for a Christmas party.
"It was all rather funny," Praum laughed. "Here I was worried about my job, and when I got to work, everyone was trashed on spiked punch and egg nog. It was all quite fun."
The 62 year old Praum plans to attend the funeral for the woman he killed, but is requesting it be held after 6 pm, as he has to work during the day.
