No matter what caused this tragedy, it's a graphic and emphatic illustration of the type and degree of devastation that could very well result from texting while driving.
Im sure the description is fake, mostly likely it's a russian video. Plus, this doesn't seem like a text-and-drive case, the car clearly loses traction and control because of the weather conditions. Either way, nobody should text and drive.
It doesn't really matter what caused the crash from bad road conditions or texting or drinking. The fact of the matter is, they lost control and ended up getting hit. It sucks but it happens, my brother was driving with some of his friends that had been drinking they hit the ditch and rolled about 4 or 5 times. My mom was driving home in a blizzard she hit a patch of black ice spun 180° and into the oncoming lane. I was reading a text and had drifted over I almost got into a head on.
Texting was NOT the reason for this accident. Its been posted all over the web from txting to drunk driving you idiots!!! Bad road conditions and poor driving speeds. DUMB ASSES!!!

@mr7thday. Just follow some that texting to prove it to your self. That it isnt the smartest thing to do. There all over the road. It not a freedom, diving is a privilege. Look it up.
check the stats. Texting and driving has not added very many accidents to the numbers .texting and driving is just another crusade of the freedom haters.
It doesn't matter what the persons sex is. Just stupid to text or use Anythjng other then your steering wheel while driving. More likly a man look at the truck. And driving aggressively.
