oh anyway, so the update on (name withheld), and I don't think he was on his phone.
00:05
He was coming down a short rally connector,
00:08
two lanes wide, and he was trying to merge over to the left to get back on I-95 after going around with traffic.
00:14
And I guess the guy in the left lane where he was trying to insert himself was not really making it easy for him, was kind of moving up.
00:25
So (name withheld) said he was looking in the left-side view mirror to make sure he could get in and Finnego's way in.
00:34
Unless he kept his eyes off the road in front of him too long, and he started to move over and looked up, the car in front of it stopped, so he clipped him with the left front of his car and cut the right mirror the other guy's car.
00:51
Doesn't sound like a situation he would have been looking at his phone, so I think it was just not being aware of what was in front of him as good as he should have been.
