That is a disturbing story, and I'd like to think that it's an isolated story. However, he was 1 of 904 people who get injured EVERY DAY in the country due to cell phone distracted "drivers". Luckily, he was not one of the 7 that are killed each and every day.
Knowing that simple fact, it's difficult for me to believe that people still chat on the phone while driving. The only encouraging news is knowing that some of the 330,000 people who are injured each year BY these selfish bone-heads - ARE the selfish bone-heads. Charles Darwin - you are my hero.
