This is what I thought too. Sounds like the driver was distracted, which of course is unacceptable in drivers, whether because of family in the hospital, or texting.
Glad you were only harmed a little bit, and able to come here and tell us about it! I always read these incident reports because I want to keep myself sharp, so I appreciate it.
