I know this person, who by the way had his 14 year old son with him. Those of you who attack him should think before commenting!! I don't know one driver who doesn't eat while driving. HE PASSED OUT BECAUSE HE CHOKED!!! His son was brave enough to grab the wheel and put his other hand on the brake to stop the vehicle from driving into traffic!! Jesus...you people are quick to judge everyone who has an accident! Maybe you should be happy that NO ONE got hurt! And pray that this doesn't happen to you or anyone else you know. I haven't met a perfect person yet! Thanks for asking...but they both are just fine.
