LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- A state police report says the Alabama truck driver involved in a March crash that killed himself and 10 others in central Kentucky was talking on a cell phone.
Police say Kenneth Laymon of Jasper, Ala., crossed the median of Interstate 65 in central Kentucky on March 26 and slammed into a van carrying Mennonites traveling to a wedding in Iowa.

Marriage kills.
“Gang of religious fanatics kill Kentucky truck driver.”
It’s easy to subpoena the cell records, and match it with the time the collisions occur....
This happens 500 times a day in the U.S...
It’s no secret....Cell phones are killers when used by drivers...
This cell phone crap is clearly out of hand. I usually encounter on a daily basis employees texting while on the job. While shopping at a local HEB I noted a young employee with both hands below her waist and out-of-sight behind the counter. I informed her that I’d like to check out after she finished. She blushed and then rang me up after putting her cell phone in her pocket. I also agree with another comment printed here. Cell phones are involved in killing more people than they save.
A bumper sticker I saw yesterday:
Honk if You Love Jesus
Text & Drive if you want to meet Him
No information provided on the driver.
What were is last words I wonder...
Something like:
“When is it a good time for martyrdom Mohammad?
Perhaps I should swerve into the path of the VW bug, will that get me my 49 virgins?
Ah, there is a van full of infidels.
How about them?
Very good Mohammad...”
Perhaps it was not the cell phone that caused the driver to cross the median.
