I trust you are checking to see if these drivers are on their cell phones, talking or texting, around the time of the accident.
how do you check that?
Phone records. The cell phone companies know if the phone was in use at any given time.
Phone records may show a call but what if the person is using a bluetooth or hand free device.
Is the wall ok?
Really @ Um Um wow people say anything
