Woman jumps out of moving car on Fla. interstate

[June 26, 2008]  TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- It's not uncommon for someone to make a dramatic exit in the middle of an argument, but the gesture should probably be avoided while traveling on the Interstate.

Marquita Cherrell Armstrong was a passenger in a car driven by Jeffery Dawayne Watson Tuesday when the two got into an argument on Interstate 10 near Tallahassee.

State troopers said Armstrong told Watson that she wanted to get out, but Watson refused to pull over in a construction zone. That's when Armstrong opened the car door and jumped out.

Armstrong was taken to the hospital with serious injuries.
