What distraction caused a semi-truck to drive into the rear of a line of vehicles on I-80 in eastern Iowa?

Names of those killed are not being disclosed until relatives are notified. What we know is the driver of a semi-truck on I-80 in Scott County, Iowa drove into a construction zone and rear ended a series of cars stopped in the construction zone.

The 2009 Kenworth Semi-truck was driven by 34 year-old Anthony Johnson of Arlington, Texas. It appears as though the driver of a Chevrolet Corvette and a van driver were both killed and perhaps a third person was injured.

Crash occurred at 18:16 or 6:16 PM on May 11, 2009 in Scott County in the eastbound lane at mile marker 305.

The Des Moines Register reports the same basic information; making it obvious names are not being reported until relatives have been notified.

Take a look at this bus driver texting as he drives his bus down an interstate highway. He keeps texting right up till he runs into the back of stopped traffic. Then he gets mad.
