US Admin Analyzes Phone Usage During Car Crashes

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in U.S. is preparing a report that estimates fatalities and car crashes from 2000 to 2002 caused by driver cell-phone use, reports RCR.

This report is being prepared following a Maryland highway accident in 2002 caused by a driver on a cell phone, in which five people were killed. The investigating authorities said cell-phone use contributed to the crash, but driving inexperience and other factors likely play roles as well.
