Via the Detroit News, the Michigan State Police reported the death of a Detroit motorist early Sunday morning when he lost control of his car on a ramp between two city freeways, apparently distracted by the pornographic movie he was watching on his cellphone.
MSP reports that Clifford Ray Jones, age 58, was partially ejected through the sunroof when his 1996 Toyota Corolla overturned. He was wearing neither a seat belt nor his pants at the time of the accident.
The single car accident took place around 3:30 a.m. on Sunday morning, on the ramp between the southbound Lodge freeway and I-75 in Detroit. Jones was pronounced dead at the scene but police continue to investigate the incident. There is no word on whether or not Jones put on clean underwear before leaving the house as one presumes his mother taught him to do in order to avoid possible embarrassment should he be in an accident.
Lt. Mike Shaw of the Michigan State Police called it the strangest traffic incident he can recall, putting it in the context of current concerns about distracted driving.
"There's so much technology out there a lot of people are paying more attention to what they're doing other than driving their car."
The DetNews drolly added, "The name of the movie wasn't known."
Remember folks, as Mr. Morrison sang, keep your eyes on the road and your hands upon the wheel.
Man, that blows.
“That’s a hard way to go.”
They should erect a monument to his stupidity.
Have they determined which Democrat member of Congress it was yet?
In a tangent issue Detwaa had a problem a while back when mini-vans were still prevent with ceiling mounted DVR’s. The phenomenon was called something like Drive By P*rn as a family would drive by that Van and the parents and kids would get exposed to whatever was playing on the screen. It was theorized it was guys commuting to work or back car pooling and they guys in the back were watching the movie. IIRC they made it a crime/ misdemeanor to try to stop it. I have no idea how prevalent it is at the moment.
Yes, I remember that thread here at FR and the fact that that Warden, just before falling, was able to push Hillary away to prevent her from also falling through.
“He didn’t know if he was coming or going.”
Well, he gone now.
lol
It’s reported a selfie-stick was involved.
Truck vs Train
Amazingly the truck driver gets out, looks for the rest of his truck.
Premature ejection.
He went from having a stiff one to being a stiff one.
LOL.
Splains a lot.
Splains a lot.
That’s what happens when your hands are on the steering wheel at 12 & 6 rather than 10 & 2...
