Text Message to Death
November 2nd, 2007 Categories: Perspectives
This was the scene that my sister saw just a few days ago when she arrived at the crash site. The picture doesn’t show my two nephews standing on the side of the road crying, nor the visibly upset and shaking Au Pair who was driving this vehicle….
….WHILE TEXT MESSAGING.
Sure, there were many factors that caused this accident. A less experienced driver, a famously dangerous curve, a new rain after a long draught. But with one hand off the wheel and two eyes off the road, the foundation of a major accident was already in place.
It was a miracle that nobody was hurt.
Please take a moment to think about the consequences of distracted driving. Is that text message or email so important that you will risk your life for it?
Update: As a side note, this accident happened just off of Aviation Blvd in Anne Arundel County just in front of the State Troopers. Apparently there are many accidents that occur here. Please comment if you have any knowledge of similar accidents here.
