A FedEx truck driver, Santos Valentin, has been charged with three felonies after a crash that killed a former athlete and his two children. Investigators revealed that Valentin was allegedly preoccupied with his phone, looking at it 25 times in the moments leading up to the crash. Despite Valentin's claim that the other vehicle appeared suddenly, dashcam footage showed him distracted, contributing to the fatal incident. The collision was so forceful that it pushed both vehicles off the road, resulting in the tragic deaths of the three victims.
Investigators allege FedEx driver Santos Valentin was distracted by his phone, looking at it 25 times before fatally crashing into a Honda, killing three.
Valentin faces three felony counts of homicide by vehicle after it was revealed he used his cellphone just seconds before colliding with a stopped car.
Despite claiming the Honda "came out of nowhere," dashcam footage indicates he had been looking at his phone instead of the road before the crash.
The crash's impact was so severe that both vehicles were pushed off the road, with the delivery truck landing directly on top of the car.
