Here’s a different kind of distracted driving: Michigan state police say a Detroit driver fatally crashed while watching porn on his phone. The unnamed driver was ejected from the sunroof of his 1996 Toyota Corolla. He was not wearing his seatbelt, nor pants, police said.
A state police spokesperson told The Detroit News that it was the strangest incident he had ever encountered. State police Lt. Mike Shaw was more thoughtful, and contemplated the state of highway driving today, where pretty much everybody is on their phones and nobody is watching the road.
“There’s so much technology out there a lot of people are more paying attention to what they’re doing other than driving their car.”
The 58-year-old lost control on an on ramp on I-75 at 3:30 a.m. on Sunday and rolled.
Kind of terrifying to think people are actually out there doing shit like this behind the wheel.
