First wreck I ever worked was a lady running a stop sign on a small road deep out in the county onto one of our highways. She hit a VW on the passenger side, about two foot in front of the passenger side seat and a 11-12 year old girl. Spun the WV around and it finally stopped with the help of a tree. The driver's vehicle did about four flips before hitting the tree line. Broke the mothers hip and messed the little girl up pretty bad. As I was walking over to check on the lady that ran the stop sign (she was going about 70 or so) I stopped and noticed her phone glowing in the ditch from having just received a reply, it was setting right next to about 1/4 of her brain. Guess she learned her lesson on texting and driving...

Had a Mother two weeks ago flip her car with her 3 and 4 year old and 4 month old in the back seat. Trying to pass on a narrow road, with oncoming traffic, and send a text all at once, talk about multi-tasking. How, I don't know, but the kids all made it dangling from the roof in their car seats. The mother may be an idiot, but she knows how to put her kids in a car seat the right way.

We have laws on the book in my state now where we can write tickets for texting and driving. The only problem is that the SO has to pay money for every ticket for texting and driving that we write, who ever came up with that piece of stupidity needs to be slapped.

We've shown pictures of the wrecks to god only knows how many teens and adults and they still never get the picture, no text is worth your or anyone else's life, just pull over (completely off the roadway) if it is that important. But alas they never learn...Stupidity should be a chargeable offense, we can call it "Felony- Stupid in General"
