I bet it involved a cell phone.. Vehicle manufacturers should come up with technology that blocks cell phone signals in vehicles, except for emergency calls. I’m sure it can be done. The mass majority of people won’t like it, but tough. Blame every idiot who drives distracted. Most likely that’s the reason this person crossed the center line.
Not everything involves technology. Could of been something else.. Maybe a animal ran off in front of them… Think before u speak bc u were probably driving and typing this….
It could have been caused by a medical issue also use common sense people
Ah yes, making assumptions without knowing the facts, how original.
Mark, this was not due to a cell phone. I believe this elderly gentleman may have had a medical problem that caused him to cross the middle line. He was the one taken Flight For Life and then his wife had some extra problems due to her husband’s injuries. It’s an extremely tragic accident. Thank goodness the gentleman driving the moving truck wasn’t seriously hurt, also.
Plus the gentleman driving the moving truck is my neighbor. This was very tragic having nothing to do with a cell phone.
