A truck driver was allegedly looking down at his cell phone for eight seconds before he slammed into a car, killing a father of three. More than two football fields — that’s how long investigators believed the driver traveled in those eight seconds.
Eight seconds — that’s all it took to change the lives of a family who will no longer see their loved one, and a truck driver who potentially faces serious jail time for a choice to look away from the road. This is just the latest distracted driving fatality in Minnesota.
When it comes to distracted driving, enough is enough.
