Then you are responsible for their safety. He clearly has a pattern. If he cannot or will not change, then you need to be in charge of driving the kids and all things safety related.

Oy. I take it back. Your dh evidently has an established pattern of disregard for your children's safety, which is quite different from making a one-time mistake in judgment. Checking a phone while driving happens to be against the law, and there is no way your dh has not been told this. He could and should have been charged with endangering the welfare of minors for this act alone, except that he obviously did not tell the police that he had been using a cell phone.
Let us hope that the KBH sent this fender-bender as a wake-up call to your dh to change his ways. If he does not, then you have one of two choices: leave your dh who seems to have no care for your children's safety, or stay married to him but see to it that he is never alone with them and that they are never, ever, in a car while he is driving. This may seem harsh, but you have already had one warning. Next time ch"v it could be more than a warning.

My cousin left her ex because she felt he was a danger to their children. It wasn't the only reason, but she would have put up with the other problems if she had felt that the children were safe. But once he took the kids for a drive without their car seats and got into a fender-bender, which was how she found out, that was it.

Look online for a safety pamphlet or booklet. It should warn DH of all the potential dangers so he can be in notice to look for those things. Or make a list for him:
Burning
Choking
Drowning
Falling
Distracted driving
Seat belt/ car seat safety
Fire
Maybe put signs up in kitchen about burns and choking, car for car safety, bathroom for bath safety, etc.
Show him some statistics on accidents being the/a leading cause of serious injury and, cvs, death for kids.
He needs your help in getting attuned for dangers.
