Gilbert Driver Crashes SUV on Guadalupe Road while Reaching for iPod
Distracted driving accounts for a shocking amount of car accidents in the United States and in 2009, 5,474 people died due to this. It is no joke for a person to attempt to multitask while he tries to drive and keep not only his own life but also the lives of his passengers safe. There are so many people, old and young people alike, who think that it is no big deal to drive for a brief moment with their eyes not on the road.
At around 8:45 Monday night, a Gilbert woman Jamie Rea crashed her SUV and she was ejected from her car after trying to get her iPod. She was driving along Guadalupe Road when she hit a curb and her car rolled over. Sgt. William Balafas reported that Rea was not seriously injured in the Arizona distracted driving accident.
A person may one minute be reading something and think to himself that indeed, distracted driving may seem like a bad idea. But in the very next minute, that very same person may find himself in a situation where the easiest solution may seem to be to take his eyes off the road for a second. This may seem like the easiest solution however it is definitely the most risky one. When you face such a dilemma, just ask yourself which of the worst-case scenarios is worse: Failing to pick up your cell and missing an important call, or ending up in a deadly crash that affects you for the rest of your life? If this seems too dramatic, just ask any victim of such accidents and you will be brought back to reality.
