Daily Mail in early entry for headline of the year with this corker
And how the story was covered in the Detroit News before the Daily Mail rewrote it
Detroit motorist watching porn on phone crashes, dies
Detroit — A Detroit man watching a porn movie while driving his car got into an accident and died.
The man, who wasn’t wearing pants, was watching the movie on his cellphone, said police.
The driver, 58, wasn’t wearing a seat belt and was partially ejected through the sunroof.
A state police spokesman said it’s the strangest incident he ever encountered.
“There’s so much technology out there a lot of people are more paying attention to what they’re doing other than driving their car,” said Lt. Mike Shaw of the Michigan State Police.
The accident occurred Sunday at 3:30 a.m. as the car was traveling south on the Lodge ramp to Interstate 75 in Detroit, said police.
The driver lost control of the 1996 Toyota and it rolled over. No other vehicles were involved in the wreck.
He was pronounced dead at the scene. The police are continuing to investigate.
