Woman allegedly browsing porn while driving kills 66-year-old man

A 44-year-old California woman, Christine Chao, has been charged with automobile homicide after allegedly accessing a pornographic website shortly before causing a fatal crash in Utah, United States.

According to TMZ, Chao was charged Tuesday following investigations into the June 12 accident along Interstate 15 near Levan.

Court documents revealed that Chao allegedly crashed into a sedan slowing down in a construction zone, triggering a three-vehicle collision.

The accident left 66-year-old Scott LaVar Lichfield with serious head injuries, which subsequently claimed his life.

Investigators said Chao “told officers she was at fault” during questioning.

A subsequent examination of her phone revealed she had accessed a pornographic website “less than two minutes before the crash.”

Authorities also reported finding no braking marks indicating that Chao attempted to slow down before impact.

She now faces a second-degree felony charge of automobile homicide as legal proceedings continue.
