Detroit Driver, Distracted by Cellphone Porn, Crashes & Dies
TTAC ^ | 01/27/2016 | By Ronnie Schreiber

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.

And to think my mom was worried about me wearing clean underwear if I were in an accident. Geez, at least I’d have some on...

The way I understand it he was learning to drive stick.

Mangled genitals/napl/industrial strength humor, and several other possibilities for this one.

I’ll bet they were pretty mangled. I’d hate to be the one on the scene to clean up that mess.

I remember a line like that from the '50s tune Seven Little Girls (Sitting in the Back Seat). That's not the video he was watching.

One of his best IMO. Think I'll have a beer for breakfast.

There was a time when things like this stayed private within the police report, for the sake of the family.

How terribly embarrassing for them

Could have been worse. He could have crashed while updating his blog.

At least what really happened won’t be as embarrassing to his family.

It’s Detroit.

I thought it took longer than that for lead in the drinking water to cause that kind of brain damage....

Nicely put. That’s what I heard also

The way FR has or had the “bang” list for gun-related stories, and the “puff” list for tobacco-related stories, I always thought there should be a list for those kind of stories called the “splat” list.
