text: Accident can happen anywhere at anytime, and can be caused by anyone doing anything. But like I said before 26 percent of accident are caused by drivers on their phones. I'm sure everyone has heard their own story about an accident that has happened because someone was on their phone. However one that really just sticks out to me is one my family and I saw the aftermath of. We were driving up to Atlants on weekend. There wasn't much traffic on either side of the interstate, it just looked as it usually does with Atlanta traffic starting to kick in. A little further down the interstate on the other side there was a ton of traffic. We looked as we went by all the fire trucks and police cars, and there was an 18-wheeler and a smaller car. The smaller car was up under the front of the 18-wheeler. Later that night my parents had the news on and it said that the driver of the 18-wheeler was on their phone and had gotten distracted. They wern't paying attention to the road or what was in front of them and somehow ran over the other smaller car.
