Enough with the constant need to take photos of ourselves, ok?
According to a report in the Bangor Daily News, 29-year-old Jordan Toner decided to lean in to a selfie taken by one of his seven passengers while driving along Deering Lake Road at about 1:30 pm this past Saturday.
Needless to say, it turned out badly, with Toner driving the 2014 Mazda CX5 off the road and into a tree.
“Multiple passengers suffered injuries that included broken bones,” says the report on the news website.
Toner has been charged with distracted driving, of course. It’s just not smart to take selfies of yourself while in a moving vehicle.
In a world where we’re all fairly obsessed with showing off our activities by snapping photos of ourselves and friends with our ubiquitous smartphone cameras attached to selfie-sticks, it shouldn’t be too surprising when someone runs off the road into a tree while doing so. Still, you’d think that surviving to your late 20s should in some way have taught you to perhaps keep your eyes on the road and your hands upon the wheel.
