Trucker on Facebook at time of deadly Arizona crash, records show
October 31, 2013
PHOENIX The driver of an empty fuel tanker was using his cell phone to look at photos of women on Facebook when he crashed into three police cars and two fire department trucks on Interstate 8 in May, killing an Arizona Department of Public Safety officer, records obtained by the Star show.
Officer Tim Huffman was killed in the May 6 wreck on eastbound Interstate 8 in Yuma County. The truck driver, Jorge Espinoza, is charged with second-degree murder and other crimes.
The investigation report was made public today after an Arizona Daily Star public records request.
Espinoza was driving 65 mph with the cruise control on when the crash happened. He initially told investigators he didn't see the police cars because he was looking in his mirror at a passing truck. He also said he never uses his phone while driving because it is against company policy, the police reports show.
However, information taken from the phone shows Espinoza was using the internet at the time of the crash, according to the reports.
A camera on the dashboard of his truck shows his Samsung Galaxy 3 phone fly out of his hand in the crash, although he had apparently tried to cover the camera with his wallet, police say.
Investigators concluded: "Espinoza would have been able to perceive the danger in the roadway and not cause the death of Officer Tim Huffman, endangered the lives of 11 other emergency responders and destroyed six vehicles, including a new semi-tractor and trailer owned by his employer, if he had not chosen to distract himself while accessing Facebook from his cellular telephone while operating his assigned commercial vehicle."
Yeah, get him. That trucker supports the TPM. Get him!!!!!
This incident happened 6 months ago and we're just now getting the details!!!! The media covered up this story since the killer is hispanic. One of the few honest journos in america forced it into the open.

Hey stupid. Can't you read?. As i said earlier, if a white boy did this, it would have been a front page story throughout america.
All electronic toys should be banned from cars and that includes radios. The auto industry deliberately puts these distracting gadgets in cars to cause more crashes. Car crashes mean car sales.

Article doesn't say the killer was illegal which means he most likely was. If a white man had done this, it would be all over TV.
As usual you have a point. But you gotta bring the racist crap in and ruin it.
