Dubuque woman on cell phone hits patrol car

A Dubuque woman is facing several charges after she allegedly hit a sheriff's deputy's patrol car while talking on her cell phone.

Officials with the Dubuque County sheriff's office says the deputy's car was blocking an intersection with its emergency lights on while firefighters fought a house fire when Jasmine Fallen approached the intersection. The deputy told Fallen to get off her phone but she didn't.

When she began to turn left she hit the door of the deputy's car.

Fallen is charged with failure to maintain control, not having insurance and failure to properly restrain a child.

This applies to all. We should be responsible enough. When using the cellphone, park the car and answer it.
