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.
He was wearing neither a seat belt nor his pants at the time of the accident.
‘Nuf said.
That’s a hard way to go.
I was taught ‘if Jesus came back right now, would you want Him to see you doing that?’ I guess the same thing applies to if you want to die doing that?
I see what you did there.
Now that had to suck.
It’s Detroit.
Mangled genitals/napl/industrial strength humor, and several other possibilities for this one.
At least when Sam Kinneson died the same way he had a live girl.
I've read that pedophile and rapist bill clinton drives around exactly like this -with hillary in the front seat with him -- also intently looking at his cell phone!
Yep, he came and went at the same time.
“Hit the Road”; they said.
“I’d Hit It”; he said.
He hit it all right.
Weenie, Weedy, WTF
Sounds like he and Bill Cosby had the same mom.
Many years ago, right here on FR, was a story of a Mexican prison warden, standing on the roof of a conjugal visit room looking thru the skylight with his trousers around his ankles as he fell thru to his death.
:)
Plus he went through the roof to boot!
He felt the earth move.
