An alleged ‘moment of recklessness’ could have caused deaths, after a driver crashed while using a cell phone on Sunday afternoon in Hampden.

District Road Policing Manager, Inspector Sarah Thorn said the driver of one vehicle admitted to Police they were distracted by changing music on their cell phone.

“They drifted completely onto the other side of the road in a 100kph area, colliding with an oncoming car. It appears that a moment of recklessness could’ve killed them.
