Cell phones require your attention.
According to the article the guy on the cell phone was not doing any of that. He was just talking and got distracted. Hit the girl. Game over. Same thing could easily happen if the operator was watching a DVD.

You're referring to an article, I wasn't. There are tons of cases out there of accidents caused by cell phones. I read a statistic that using your cell phone causes more car accidents then driving while intoxicated.
