* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Everyone involved with the accident other than Jon is ultimately responsible for the chain of events that happen after:
** The truck driver that Jon and Anne try to pass whose truck tears off Jon's hand as he signals towards an impatient driver behind him.
** The impatient driver behind Lansdale's car, as they're the one who causes Jon to lean out the window and get his hand severed in the first place.
** Anne herself, for trying to pass the truck when another car is coming down the lane she's trying to pass and slams the brakes hard enough to sever the hand.
