DRIVING WHILE DISTRACTED

South Amherst – We have all heard the stories of people texting, applying make up, talking on a cell, drinking and other things while driving – Any one of those distractions alone is considered very dangerous but on Monday a South Amherst man decided to combine two of them while driving.

The man was driving into the Amherst Mobile Home Park Monday afternoon while, as he said – “messin with my radio and my cell phone” at the same time.

The man then plowed into a utility pole in the park breaking it at the bottom and pulling wires down.

LifeCare Paramedics treated the man on scene but he refused transport to the hospital.

Lorain County Sheriff’s Deputies are investigating the crash – no citation was issued at the scene but charges are likely.
