People are dying: The realities












Loving father of two.












Loving husband and father.











Reggie killed the two men above while TWD. As a result, he completed 100 hours of public service and 30 days in jail, yet he will have to live with this tragedy for the rest of his life. The penalties he received for TWD are now much higher in Utah.

In the UK, Rachel Begg, 19, entered prison for four years after causing the death of a 64 year-old grandmother. Begg was texting while she ploughed into the woman's car at 70 mph.
Chelsea Ann Bragg, 18, was killed in a rollover crash after texting while driving. She veered off the shoulder of the road and then lost control of the car, causing it to roll twice. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Dana Trammell, 17, was texting someone on her way to her first day of school of senior year when she crashed and was thrown from her vehicle. She was pronounced dead at the scene.









Ashley D. Miller, 18, veered into oncoming traffic and hit another car head-on while she was texting. She and the other driver, a 40 year-old mother of 1, were killed instantly.

This is really sad and probably as serious as drunk driving. Using these examples will make people think when they read your blog

Are young people most likely to die or kill someone while texting? Are there cases of people over 30 that have die while texting?

That is really sad! I think the worst things about these deaths is that they were all preventable. It's so hard to lose a loved one in a car accident because it is so sudden and unexpected.
