Siri helped save a life when it dialed 911 after a woman was shot in the head during a recent road rage attack.
Kay Hafford, 22, was on her way to work Friday morning a week ago when a driver cut her off on Interstate 25 in Houston, KTRK reported. She instinctively honked her horn and kept driving, thinking that was the end of it.
But moments later, the driver pulled up next to Hafford.
"I sped up, he sped up and then maybe about 30 seconds later, there was a big boom noise," Hafford told KTRK.
The driver fired a shot into her passenger-side window. With her head reeling from the impact, Hafford managed to feel around for her iPhone and ask Siri, Apple's voice-automated assistant, to call 911.
"When I heard Siri, that's when I cried," the victim told ABC News. "When I heard her say, 'Who do you want to call,' I said 911 and a 911 operator picked up. That's when I lost it."
Hafford was rushed to a hospital where doctors removed bullet fragments from her skull. She is now out of the hospital and is expected to be fine, but her attacker remains at large.
Though she is convinced he meant to kill her, Hafford says she bares no ill-will towards the motorist.
"I forgave him right away," she told ABC News. "When I looked in his eyes, I knew there was something wrong with him.
"All I ask is for him to have a heart and turn himself in," Hafford said.
