Very sad. And sad also for that truck driver as well. You can tell from the other vehicles at the scene that wherever this is, they drive on the right side of the street, so it's obviously not the trucks fault, but I know that I would feel horrible knowing that I was involved in that to whatever degree. Involved and having to have witnessed it just must have been horrible. Thanks for the reply though. I was just thinking that there must be tons of 'Don't do this...' and 'Don't do that...while driving' emails out there. But yeah, I found postings of it, but nothing saying what actually happened to this poor guy. Anyway, thanks again... now I'm going to try to move on with enjoying the Christmas season. Thank you! :) Yes, sad. Very sad. And sad also for that truck driver as well.

The driver may well have been talking on a cell, but it would appear to be speculation. Sad none the less.

It states, "WHY YOU SHOULD NOT BE TEXTING OR USING YOUR CELL PHONE WHILE DRIVING?" "THIS IS WHY..." "this..." <photo? "AND THIS ..." and you get the idea. Anyway, not that it REALLy matters to most people what he was doing, I was just curious if this guy actually died while using his phone. I know a lot of people will take stuff like this and run with it to make it fit their cause or agenda. Anyway, I just thought I'd add in my 2 cents of experience with the email.

Texas is nice to live in, but, I'm not going to die here. Erik, don't shoot me when I knock on the door. The correct "Identification Phrase" is "Flash/Thunder", something that always bugged me about S.P.R. Well if this is how it’s all going to start,

Even more so with the sub-compact cars and motorcycles. This is why I'm always to the left or right and far infront or behind the big boys.
