Tulsa Distracted Driving Car Accident Causes Injuries

By Ray Maples on November 5, 2012

Two people were injured in a Tulsa car accident, which officials say, may have involved a distracted driver. According to a News On 6 report, the injury accident occurred near 21st and Skelly in Tulsa. Officials say the female driver of an SUV was searching for something in her backseat when she rear-ended a truck that was stopped at a red light. Both drivers were taken to a nearby hospital. It is not clear if the woman responsible for the crash will face charges for the collision.

Distracted driving is more than just making a call or sending a text while driving. There are many ways in which a driver can lose focus. If you take your hands off the wheel, your eyes off the road, or your mind off the task at hand, you are driving while distracted. Drivers who are talking to passengers, reaching to change the CD, or operating an electronic navigation system, for example, are putting themselves and others in harm’s way.
