...a construction worker killed ...when a driver ignored the warnings and was distracted when he dropped his cell phone.

The driver was likely just on his cell phone and not paying attention. Claiming he dropped it sounds like an attempt to lessen the charges and his guilt.

That is my guess as well. From a legal stand point, he should have kept his mouth shut until properly represented.
