Woman on cell phone hits state trooper in car


Posted on Sep 17, 2008

We are an unabashed nation of multitaskers. With lengthy to-do lists and limited hours in the day, we squeeze as much as we can into every waking moment.

There's nothing wrong with that - unless we're driving. Then the affinity for multitasking veers into a dangerous habit, one that too often leads to accidents, injuries and even deaths.

So it was Sunday when, according to the State Police, a 24-year-old woman's Chevy Suburban struck a trooper's car parked along Interstate 264 in Virginia Beach. The trooper said Sabrina Farbor, of Virginia Beach, was talking on her cell phone when the accident occurred.

The trooper had stopped a pickup truck for speeding on eastbound I-264 near Mount Trashmore and had returned to his car. The Suburban hit his car, then the pickup; the Suburban flipped several times before coming to a stop. The trooper suffered minor injuries, while no one in the pickup was hurt. Farbor was taken to a hospital, but her injuries were not life-threatening. She faces reckless driving charges, said State Police spokeswoman Sgt. Michelle Cotten.
