The incident took place on Tuesday on Forshay Road. The unidentified police officer was stopped in traffic when his car was hit from behind by a vehicle driven by a 30 year old Monsey resident. He sustained non-life threatening injuries and was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital in Suffern by Ramapo Valley Ambulance.
The woman told a police officer investigating the incident that she was reading an article on her phone when the accident occurred. She was ticketed for following too closely and for use of a portable electronic device while operating a vehicle.
Why wasn’t she also ticketed for stupidity?
Looks like there’s no law against stupidity
You can’t make this stuff up!
Drivers on my street including the yeshiva bus drivers speed while texting. The are finally getting involved. 10 kids in a beaten van with a distracted mom is disastrous but no one cares.
Why in the world would anyone voluntarily tell an investigating officer in a traffic accident that they were ingadged in the use of a hand held cellular device?
I sincerely hope she has deeeeeeeeeeep pockets!
Her vehicle insurance is going to go sky high! She will also undoubtly be squid civilly !
I wonder what her husbands reaction was.
She is a lit is veibel, and was arguing with the officer, claiming that Model beknas puter.
She is a litvish veibel, and argued that modeh beknas puter
was she a frum lady?
Can’t really blame her, as she was looking at the new Forshey/Monsey blog site “Acher’s Musings”. Still watch where you are going.
People who talk/text on their phones while driving are just as dangerous as drunk drivers. Hence, they should be treated as drunk drivers, and should be promptly arrested, and have their licenses suspended, period!!
take away her keys and license.
