Did she forget a T? (As in the title) Was the forgotten thing a thing? A person? An action? Was her death accidental? Homicide? Suicide? Execution? Did she commit a crime? Is any other person involved? If so, more than one? HAM? HAF? | ||

Wild guess: is skydiving relevant? If not: is the other person related to Kelly? A friend? Was the thing she forgot ordinary not a life-or-death manner? Was it a food-related item? Clothing? Electronic? Was it a cell phone? | ||

Did Kelly and Ginger attempt to switch seats while the car was in motion?yes Resulting in Kelly exiting the vehicle in an improper manner (that's what happens when you don't keep your arms and legs inside the ride at all times)?yes well, that's close enough, so: SPOILER: Kelly was driving a car with her friend Ginger, presumably in a time crunch. Kelly realized she had forgotten her driver's license and decided to switch seats with Ginger, WHILE THE CAR WAS MOVING (thus my statement of her not being the sharpest knife in the drawer). Furthermore, her idea of switching seats was to have Ginger take hold of the wheel and climb over while she climbed over the T top to get to the other seat. That's not exactly an easy feat and she ended up falling off the car to her death. | ||
