driver-phone-accidentWhen one drives, one should give 100% attention to the road in front of you – otherwise a slight distraction could prove to be fatal, be it for the pedestrian on the road whom you missed, or you and the passengers in the car because you were hurtling down the freeway at high speeds.

A recent fatal car crash apparently involved the man indulging in some porn as he was driving, at least according to the local authorities.

The 58-year old accident victim was not wearing his pants, and neither did he have his seat belt strapped when he lost control and crashed his 1996 Toyota in Detroit, which subsequently crashed and the force threw him out of the vehicle. Michigan State Police Lt. Mike Shaw shared that the reason of distraction has proven to be the weirdest kind throughout his career, “We see people putting on makeup. We see people doing different things as far as hygiene, as far as reading books. There’s so much technology out there.
