Yeah, i've heard of accidents like that too -- dropped cell phones, cigarettes, CDs, etc. Distracted driving = sooo dangerous!!

A couple months ago (or so), there was a woman talking on her phone who caused an accident - and when the paramedics turned up, they found her severed arm *still holding the cell phone*
