Tow truck driver causes accident by texting and driving
Share:
The 68 year old woman who was driving the car suffered head injuries, although she is now in good condition. Her niece, an 8 year old passenger in the auto, had minor injuries. Sparks was charged with reckless driving, talking on a cellphone and following too closely. And for the Senators on Capitol Hill, it's another example of what they are trying to prevent with their proposed law.

You don't know what a truch driver is? It's like the most horrifying thing on the road, when they're released to roam free, disaster surely follows! They're huge trucks, but the "h" on the end that replaces the "k" stands for Harry Potter, because they've also got magic powers.

Thank God, it actually wasn't a truch, it was a truck... That was a close call...

I hope they ban texting completely, like not just while driving. That would be awesome, people would be so upset... Including me...

SO TRUE! Too bad the rest of N. America is too spoiled to accept it! Freedom doesn't mean acting like an IDIOT and disregarding others particularly when you're driving! Focus on driving! Period! What about the Freedom of others?! IDIOT! We do need laws to BAN texting and BAN cell phone use in cars except for emergencies (i.e. medical and getting info if lost)!

One think I also wish to share online here is that According to me The main think that must be kept in mind while driving the van is -----It's HEIGHT. I have seen in my life and also read lots of blogs about accidents of lifted vans happened just because of ignorance or we can say confusion about height of lifted van by their drivers. Most of times such blogs make me remember that 2 heart cracking accidents I have seen in my life , which I can't forgot throughout my life. So I request all of lifted vans drivers from here that please drive very carefully your lifted vans by keep in mind height of van and material in it and enjoy the world-class driving. Thanks for giving me chance to share my feeling. Regards, Pickup trucks
