Shriver Places 911 Call

She sounded calm, cool and collected.

Maria Shriver, California’s former First Lady, placed a 911 call reporting that her youngest son was seriously hurt following a boogie boarding accident last weekend.

“What’s the emergency, ma’am?” asked the 911 operator.

“It was a boogie boarding accident” replied Shriver. He can’t move off the beach… broken ribs or something like that.”

Shriver told the operator it was her son, Christopher, 13, who was hurt. And she described his fragile condition: “He’s awake and breathing. He can’t move. He’s having trouble breathing.”

The accident happened during Carmageddon weekend at Escondido Beach in Malibu.

Christopher has been in the hospital ever since… being treated for a collapsed lung and broken bones.
