For years fake posts were being shared on social media saying “This guy was texting while driving … they found the phone still in his hand. They found his head in the back seat!! Make sure all the young people you know, heck ALL the people you know, see this.” But acording to snopes.com this is false, there was never an official mention of the driver having been texting at the time of the crash, being found with a cell phone in his hand, or his head ending in the backseat.
