It's better to feel sorry afterwords than doing the hit and run but still...

Distracted driving is epidemic in these parts. It's more like distracted texting. Every now and then people will let their driving steer their attention away from their phones.

But this one is weird. The journalist correctly calls the incident a crash but the cop calls it an accident. Usually, it's either the other way 'round or everyone calls the crash/collision and accident.
