Disoriented

Jordan Toner, 29, was driving in Orient, Maine, when his two front-seat passengers decided to take a selfie. Toner leaned in to be included in the photo with the two ladies, “and ran off the road into a tree,” say the Maine State Police, which investigated the crash. The two women were not seatbelted, and thus ended up with the most severe injuries. Toner was cited for “failing to maintain control of a motor vehicle due to being distracted.” (RC/WBZ Boston) ...Wait: you mean he was smart enough to be wearing a seatbelt himself?
