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.

Hey, he heard that you aren't supposed to talk on your phone while driving, and knew about not texting while driving. But he was never warned not to watch a porno movie on his phone while driving.

I misread that at first - thought, "It must have been a good 'un."Clifford Ray Jones, age 58, was partially ejected through the sunroof
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

I'm thinking maybe alcohol was also involved?The single car accident took place around 3:30 a.m. on Sunday morning
It does scare me to drive in city traffic these days . . . crazy to know how many people are under the influence of something other than focusing on driving what is essentially a killing machine.
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

Obviously, a real thrill seeker... he came and went all at the same moment.

Yes, some will think this is just another stiff they buried, but his story is much more graphic than that.
