I heard the driver was texting or doing other social media stuff on their phone. But I doubt our legislators will ever do any meaningful legislation. They too use their phones constantly while driving at 15 mph over the interstate speed limit while trying to get to a state congressional session from their homes that are in distant places from the state capitol.
Highway Patrol will let you slide for 10 to 15 mph because they catch heck and get sent to undesirable patrol districts when they pull over a state representative.
