Passengers Aren't Safe When the Driver is Distracted (Cell Phones)

In this crash we have two people being hospitalized after a car, truck and semi-truck accident on Highway 151 in Fairfax. This appears to be the same collision with the woman from Marion, Iowa. (Joy Talley, 25) She suffered what is reported as a serious head-injury or TBI. The accident sequence is this poor woman is stopped and waiting for traffic to clear so she can turn left. A semi-truck driver probably not paying attention (cell phone?) rear ends her, pushing her car into the path of the oncoming pickup truck. All were injured. See the article and the local Sheriff's report for more details. I see no fault on the part of Talley.
