Distracted

A few days ago in the early morning hours I heard a number of emergency vehicles go by. For some reason I assumed they were headed to a fire. I also remember thinking how well I can hear the sirens inside the house but when I'm in the car I can't hear a thing. Anyway, I left the house a couple of hours later and that's when I found out what all the commotion was about. It was a terrible accident just down the street from me and from the condition of the car, I'm certain there were injuries. The car appeared to have been broadsided buy a pick-up truck, which was being loaded onto a tow truck as I passed the scene. I spend  a lot of time in the car and the one thing I notice more than ever before is: people are MWD (multitasking while driving). It seems that driving has taken a back seat to talking on the phone, texting, reading, eating, changing clothes, checking the GPS, taking videos..........
I don't know the cause of this accident but someone was distracted for some reason and the result was unnecessary injury and auto damage.
