I feel that anytime ones attention to driving is impaired whether it be alcohol related or in this case related to cell phone usage the outcome is usually devastating. Last August 12,2008 while stopped at a red light on westbound 38th & Sheridan a young lady (not yet twenty-one was texting while driving a brand new Suzuki SX4.. With ZERO skid marks she plowed into the rear of a 1983 Chevy Blazer at approx 35 to 40mph. Her vehicle went underneath the Blazer lifting it up & launched it into the rear of my 2007 Cadillac DTS which in turn was launched into the rear of a late model Toyota pickup. The Suzuki was completly destroyed, the Blazer which was in mint condition sustained approx 8 to 10k worth of damage & my Cadillac sustained 18k worth of damage. The Toyota sustained extremely minor damage. The video of the accident which I took via my cell phone indeed shows the end result of inattentive driving as was the unfortunate case now unfolding in Fort Collins.
