I know the intersection where the incident happened fairly well, hard to believe it happened where it did.

I should imagine that it's a spot where most would speed, Benetook Road closer to suburbia seems very open and would appear to have a higher speed limit.

Phone

I think that every time I see a rear ender, I get sickened by seeing people messing about on their phone while driving, nothing is that urgent that it can't wait until you reach your destination.
