Distracted Driving Lands Car Thief In Jail

Wow, talk about an overachiever. A Kennewick man crashed into a home because he was texting and eating at the same time- while driving a stolen truck.

The Spokesman-Review reports the driver lost control of the stolen truck and went into a ditch, drove through some logs and lawns and then hit the house.

He rain from the scene but was picked up not too much later. And if you were wondering what he was eating, it was a croissant.
