Thursday, October 22, 2026 -A female driver from California reportedly caused a fatal car crash in Utah while watching x- rated video on her phone.
Christine Chao, 44, was charged on Tuesday, October 20, with
automobile homicide for the crash on June 12, according to TMZ. At the
time, construction on I-15 had slowed traffic to a near halt, when Chao plowed
her SUV into a car — and caused it to smack into another slowed vehicle.
“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,” charging documents viewed by
KSL state.
The Rosemead native reportedly “told officers she was at
fault,” and after examining her phone, police found that she had hopped on a
porn site “less than two minutes before the crash.”
Chao was getting her fix when she slammed her blue SUV into
a white sedan, according to ABC4. The sedan then crashed into another SUV
driving in front of it, and all three vehicles careened off the road.
Scott LaVar Lichfield, 66, was riding in the backseat of one
of the cars when he suffered a fatal head injury.
Lichfield was reportedly a loving husband and grandfather.
“It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our
sweet Husband, Dad, Papa (Pop Pop), Uncle, Cousin, Nephew,” reads his
obituary.
“He was one very loved gentle soul.”
He was remembered as a Sunday school teacher and finance
professional.
“Scott served faithfully in many callings as a Sunday School
Teacher to a couple of crowds of boys and a lone girl. He loved those kids,”
the obituary continued.
