Sorry to disappoint but a phone was not a factor in this collision just a very sudden stop by the pickup in the middle of the intersection which led to the van rear ending the truck
The truck is very large with a camper restricting view of any forward traffic in front of truck, truck slammed on brakes in middle of intersection where most people don’t expect traffic to stop and she smacked the truck.

When I lived in Oakland, I thought that there couldn’t be a place with worse drivers. Then I moved to Eureka. Seen more crashes, on residential surface streets, in 1 year here than I did in 3 years living on a VERY busy street in West Oakland.

Unfortunately, it’s legal for law enforcement to use handheld devices while driving. Of course, the science that proves people can’t multitask applies to all human beings, including LEO’s.

Broadway in EUK is always a mess! People driving autos like they are on a race track / bumper car derby, tweekers on bike or foot with all their belongs and dogs jostling about as they jay walk or run between traffic …. then throw in the weather, rush hours, drug/alcohol and a royal dose of selfish behavior and its a wonder there isn’t more accidents along this part of EUK roadway. We need civility or a better transit system (or both!).

I’m sorry to disappoint you but when we drive on the racetrack at Redwood Acres Raceway it’s 20 times safer than driving on Broadway and yes I do race at Redwood Acres

Also raced in the last four boat races which are a form of demolition race and was still safer than driving on Broadway
