Man was watching porn while driving before fatal crash

Not The Onion!!

The Michigan State Police Department said Tuesday that a man died after rolling his car on the ramp from the Lodge to I-75 was watching pornography while driving.

The accident happened early Sunday morning just after 3:30. Michigan State Police troopers were called to the ramp from the Lodge to southbound I-75 on a one-car accident. The preliminary investigation revealed the driver of the car was watching a movie while behind the wheel, police said on Monday.

The driver was not wearing a seat belt when he lost control and rolled the car. He was partially ejected through the sunroof and died on scene.

On Tuesday, FOX 2 was speaking with Michigan State Police troopers about a different story when MSP revealed the man had been watching pornography and masturbating while driving. MSP also said the 58-year-old man was not wearing pants at the time of the crash.


He must have hit the ramp awfully hard!

The "DIS-Honorable Mention" category. Don't porn and drive, either.

who have to think about how he died. Years from now will the family be evasive when his name comes up at family gatherings? "Well, Uncle Joe died in a car accident but we really don't know what happened. Here, have another slice of pie."

Guy next to me watching porn. I was in a pickup and he s in a small car and I could see plainly that he was watching porn (and not doing that thing most guys do when watching porn). We were both at an on ramp leading to a freeway. We got on and he was in the fast lane and I in the middle lane. Everyday the fast lane stops at one spot (why is another question) and today was no different. Inmymiror I saw the porn watchers car pile into a car that was stopped in that lane. I thought it was hilarious.

as he used one hand to masturbate and the other to hold the cell phone that was playing the porn video.
