More tragedy from yesterday's deluge. Turns out, driving into the bayou after 5 inches of rain is really, really bad.
Five Houston children died Saturday after their sedan slid into a rain-swollen ditch when the driver lost control while trying to answer a cell phone, authorities said.

John Cannon, a Houston police spokesman, told several Houston television stations that the driver of the car was the father of four of the dead children, all 7 or younger. Cannon said the driver was taken for blood-alcohol testing.
So he may or may not have been drinking, but it was the distraction from his phone that provided the distraction that caused the deaths of five young children. Who is going to be the villain here, ethanol or telecommunications? Stay tuned.
