This is why drivers shouldn’t be chatting on their cellphones when they are behind the wheel.
A Bridgewater, N.J., man Saturday was talking on his cellphone when he lost control of his car and drove it into the Raritan River, flipping it over, according to The Star-Ledger of Newark.

The man, Snehl Patel, 46, was charged with careless driving and driving while using a cellphone by Raritan Township police.
A witness told The Ledger that he saw Patel driving along River Road but then suddenly veer left and slip down a six-foot embankment, with the car landing upside down in the water. The water was just knee-deep, so the witness and his friends were able to get Patel out of the car.
