A California woman has been accused of causing a fatal car crash in Utah while watching adult videos on her phone, according to a local report by ABC 4. The woman, identified as 44-year-old Christine Chao, was charged with automobile homicide, a second-degree felony, for the June 12 crash that resulted in the death of a 66-year-old man.
Chao was driving on Interstate 15 near Levan, Utah, where traffic was slowed for a construction zone. According to the charging documents from KSL, Chao’s car struck a white sedan, which then collided with an SUV ahead, sending all three vehicles off the road. “Two vehicles were traveling at a slower speed when a vehicle driven by the defendant, Christine Chao, struck the rearmost vehicle, causing it to crash into the vehicle ahead of it,” the documents read.
