Woman Looking at Porn While Driving Caused Deadly Car Crash in Utah, Cops Say
A woman caused a fatal car crash in Utah because she was too busy watching porn while driving … according to authorities.
Multiple outlets report that 44-year-old California woman Christine Chao was charged Tuesday with automobile homicide in connection with the deadly June 12 crash.
According to charging documents … Chao “told officers she was at fault” … and when investigators got a warrant to search her phone, they found she’d accessed a porn site “less than two minutes before the crash.”
The charging docs say Chao was driving on I-15 when she crashed into a white sedan, which had slowed down in a construction zone.
The sedan then hit the SUV driving in front of it, and all three vehicles went off the road.
KSL reports that 66-year-old Utah man Scott LaVar Lichfield — who was riding in the backseat of one of the cars in the crash — suffered a head injury in the accident and later died.
ABC4 reports Scott was in the car that Chao directly hit.
