Another reason to watch those trucks.

Talking to other drivers who saw what this driver was doing before the accident happened said he was typing away on his Qualcomm computer (communicates back and forth with the company's HQ) and did not realize the truck in front of him was very slow if not stopped because he was trying to move to the left lane due to the right lane being closed to construction. Needless-to-say, he was killed on impact. I got there not long after it happened. The driver in the red truck was still buried in the debris and the whole front end was crushed into the drivers area. This is why doing things while you drive is dangerous.

This happened Friday night in Arkansas on I-30 this week.

Btw, they put that styrofoam piece over where the driver is so people passing by did not see the body.

Blech. I've seen things like this happen with my own two eyeballs. Not very awesome to watch, especially when the coroner's van pulls up and you know someone died.

haha, I guess even this scenario is too morbid for a board of misfits >: )

I'll tag a +1 to the first post...^{I don't drive}.._{but neither do I let a driver do things other than drive when I am the passenger.}

...& ya' that is a good idea they had to prop up the Styrofoam there...or you may have caused another accident takin' pictures...

lol yes indeed, but at 5mph with my experience at multitasking, it was rather easy to do with a cell phone.

Wow. It never fails to amaze me. Your alive one moment then the next your dead. I bet most people don't even think about it. A few miles back that driver was alive. Now he's dead. Just like that, everything is over.

Don't know where this happened but I know the driver never made it
