Motorcycle accident death caused by woman painting her fingernails
Chicago Daily Herald has a report on a Saturday car accident near Lake Zurich, where the a driver of a car struck and killed a motorcyclist who had stopped at a yellow light-- because the woman behind the wheel of the car was reportedly painting her nails at the time of the accident.
Recently we discussed the dangers of multi-tasking- i.e., texting and using cell phones--while driving, and this illustrates how important it is to drive without distraction.
