YES - Indy Anna how does a driver not see a camel on the road....:waitasec:

"The police chief said camel owner Terry Turk waved his arms to get the driver’s attention and leaped out of the way to avoid the car. But the camel crashed onto the hood, showering glass onto the driver, who was treated for minor injuries including cuts."

Texting. Talking on phone.

The poor camel.
