Great Heck ?

AFAIA, there was no suggestion that he was either exceeding the limit or
on the phone.

Probably a misremembering of the fact he'd been on the phone *at home*
for a very long time (and had therefore got little sleep that night)
before setting out.

I thought he had also been texting during the journey but various
reports don't suggest the telephone had actually been used during the
journey preceding the accident. Possibly the train crashes in LA in
2008 and Boston in 2009 (with train crew texting) are getting tangled
up with it.
