Car Crash Victim’s Arm Found, Cellphone Intact
Some part of the twisted humorist in me made me post this. Enjoy!

If this isn’t a reason to get a Bluetooth headset, I don’t know what is. A Lexington, Kentucky woman and her daughter flipped over in their SUV and rolled into the berm. Passers-by stopped to help and found the woman, her arm missing, pinned in the car.
A quick-thinking driver placed a tourniquet on the woman’s stump and they later found her arm—still clutching a cellphone. Both victims survived the crash.

Getting a bluetooth would save her arm but it won't prevent the accident from happening.
A bluetooth device certainly can free her hand but it can't free her attention.
Studies had shown talking on the phone take up mental resource (attention), thus decrease reaction time. Even Mythbusters (a TV show from Discovery Channel) has done a experiment on this and found the exact same result.
