Patrolman Lance Luckey was not so lucky when he was rear-ended by Robbin Glover. Glover was driving south in a white 1996 Dodge extended cab pickup truck when Glover took his eyes off of the road to look at his cell phone. When Glover looked up again, it was too late and he hit the 1995 Ford F-150 driven by Luckey. Luckey was sent to the local hospital in Columbus, MS.
Cell phones are an extremely dangerous distraction when someone is trying to drive a vehicle safely down the highway. Drivers need to be extra careful of what they are doing when they check their cell phone while driving. Just looking at your cell phone is dangerous as attested to by this accident. If you try to push some buttons on your cell phone, it is more distracting and takes more time and effort to complete. The law should be changed to allow for double damages against anyone who causes an accident as a result of a cell phone.
