Teens Killed In Accident Resulting From Texting At The Wheel

Jul. 16, 2007
Five teenagers, four being cheerleaders, who had just graduated from high school were killed in a car crash. The driver of the vehicle was said to be texting and calling friends while at the wheel. The sad part is that their graduation was just days before the fatal incident.
Authorities say that moments before the crash texts and calls were exchanged form the driver’s cell phone. Moments later their car had a head on collision with a tractor-trailer. Unfortunately they all died in the flames resulting from the crash. Many people attended their funerals. Their parents were devastated about what happened.
This is a perfect example of why they changed the rules so that you aren’t allowed to use your cell phone while driving. When on cell phones, whether calling someone or texting, the driver gets distracted. If the driver is distracted and a car in front of him or her stops suddenly, there is no way of telling whether the driver of the vehicle will react. When driving, the driver must always keep his or her full attention on the road. Nothing can be more important than your safety.
