Don't tweet and drive, kids. You might end up like Dr. Frank Ryan, a famous Hollywood plastic surgeon who died after driving off a cliff near his Malibu home Monday.
Ryan, known for working with celebrities such as Heidi Montag, was tweeting about his border collie, Jill, just seconds before the crash, the doctor's ex-girlfriend told People Magazine.
Ryan's Twitter page was last updated at 4:10 p.m. Monday with a picture of Jill on a beach. "Border collie jill surveying the view from atop the sand dune," Ryan wrote.
About a half-hour earlier, the doctor tweeted that he'd finally stopped to walk up sand dunes.
"After 25 years of driving by, I finally hiked to the top of the giant sand dune on the pch (sic) west of malibu. Much harder than it looks! Whew!"
Jill was in the car when Ryan crashed, according to People. The dog suffered injuries to the head, eye and paw.
In other news, AAA released a survey Wednesday showing that one in five dog owners drives with pets on their laps. No word on how many tweet about their dogs from the car.
The California Highway Patrol confirmed Ryan was texting on his phone when he crashed. The official cause of the accident isn't yet clear.
