Am I missing something here? How do we know for a fact that yakking on a cell phone while driving is what made this car go out of control? The link you posted only said that he was heard talking on a phone at the scene of the accident......AFTER he lost control and hit the garage. Correct me if I am wrong...but it seems to me that any assumptions here before the impact itself are just speculation.

How the hell fast was this guy going? That's a lot of stuff to hit in a 350Z to carry it THAT far, especially after ramming that Jeep.

Driver "Yo Bruno this Z is so fast, oh here comes a nice right hander"

Caller "Just remember the release agent on brand new tires"

Driver "<inaudible> screech, snap, <glass breaking>, OH SHIIII, <CRACK> car alarm 1, 2, 3... airbags"

Caller "What happened?"

Driver "I just saved a bunch of money on auto insurance, I'm canceled!"
