Some employers have trouble with drivers who talk on a cell phone or send text messages while working. This company had an employee who was doing both at the same time.
Police say Nicholas Sparks of Burt, NY, was at fault when he slammed his tow truck into another car and crashed into a swimming pool. The reason for the accident: Sparks was having a conversation on a cell phone — while sending a text message on a second phone.
Sparks admitted to using two phones behind the wheel and was charged with reckless driving, talking behind the wheel and, for good measure, tailgating, the Associated Press reports.
The truck also sideswiped a house and broke a picket fence before landing in an unsuspecting resident’s in-ground pool.
Makes you wonder how some people get hired in the first place.
