Police say a Buffalo-area tow truck driver was juggling two cell phones — texting on one and talking on another — when he slammed into a car and crashed into a swimming pool. Niagara County sheriff's deputies say 25-year-old Nicholas Sparks of Burt admitted he was texting and talking when his flatbed truck hit the car Wednesday morning in Lockport.
The truck then crashed through a fence and sideswiped a house before rolling front-end first into an in-ground pool.

Jim Morrison was right
"Keep your eyes on the road and your hands upon the wheel," indeed:
He may as well have had a bottle of whiskey in one hand and a bottle of beer in the other. He injured a 68-year-old woman and her 8-year-old niece in the crash. Hopefully, he'll be stripped of his driver's license, though I'm not confident of that, seeing as how often actual drunk drivers get back out on the road.
