Now here's a submission I made for a Darwin Award. At least it was of this incident.
Vehicle collisions and distracted driving don't usually qualify, but this is distracted driving to an unimaginable extreme. The schmuck was old enough to know better, and navigating a freeway-to-freeway interchange requires one's hands on the steering wheel. Besides, it's in Detroit at 3 am.
Quote:The Michigan State Police Department said Tuesday that a man died after rolling his car on the ramp from the Lodge to I-75 was watching pornography while driving.
The accident happened early Sunday morning just after 3:30. Michigan State Police troopers were called to the ramp from the Lodge to southbound I-75 on a one-car accident. The preliminary investigation revealed the driver of the car was watching a movie while behind the wheel, police said on Monday.
The driver was not wearing a seat belt when he lost control and rolled the car. He was partially ejected through the sunroof and died on scene.
On Tuesday, FOX 2 was speaking with Michigan State Police troopers about a different story when MSP revealed the man had been watching pornography and masturbating while driving. MSP also said the 58-year-old man was not wearing pants at the time of the crash.
