Troopers cite 67 drivers for phone use while passing fatal I-10 crash in Tucson
Arizona Department of Public Safety troopers issued dozens of citations during a "Phones Down Detail" on Interstate 10, sparked by drivers allegedly recording a nearby fatal crash, the department announced on social media.
The enforcement detail resulted in 67 total cell phone citations in just a few hours.
According to AZDPS, state troopers were investigating a fatal collision involving a commercial motor vehicle when they noticed a significant traffic slowdown.
Officials say the congestion was caused by passing motorists who were using their phones to take photos and videos of the scene while driving.
