Don’t Text While Driving: Death Text

death text

 

Texting while driving can be deadly.  This is terrifying.  Look at the CSI tech’s blue gloves.

Here is the full article from Yahoo.  They won’t mind if I copy it, if they do….tough boogies.

DENVER (AP) — Alexander Heit’s final text cut off in mid-sentence. Before he could send it, police say the 22-year-old University of Northern Colorado student drifted into oncoming traffic, jerked the steering wheel and went off the road, rolling his car.

Heit died shortly after the April 3 crash, but his parents and police are hoping the photo of the mundane text on his iPhone will serve as a stark reminder to drivers.

The photo, published Wednesday in The Greeley Tribune, shows Heit was responding to a friend by typing “Sounds good my man, seeya soon, ill tw” before he crashed.

Witnesses told police that Heit appeared to have his head down when he began drifting into the oncoming lane in the outskirts of Greeley, where the University of Northern Colorado is located. According to police, an oncoming driver slowed and moved over just before Heit looked up and jerked the steering wheel.

Police say Heit, a Colorado native who loved hiking and snowboarding, had a spotless driving record and wasn’t speeding.

In a statement released through police, Heit’s mother said she doesn’t want anyone else to lose someone to texting while driving.

“In a split second you could ruin your future, injure or kill others, and tear a hole in the heart of everyone who loves you,” Sharon Heit said.

I was flipping thru Flipboard tonight and spotted this article. The car won’t start unless your phone is plugged in. No more texting while driving.

The number of phones appears to be very limited.  I see two models of iPhone and only one Android phone (one Galaxy version).  How they will expand to support other phones remains to be seen.

Visit the companies web site for more information.

Below is the link to the original article, but, I put the video above.

2 years ago today, Tracy, CA lost four wonderful teens….their loss has left deep, irrepairable, scars in our hearts, but, we continue through the pain.

Those of us who were friends of Carol, Chris, Kassy or Bobby….we could have missed the pain….but, we would have missed the dance…

If you are a teen who thinks you will never die….you will, and you can.  It is not you who suffers, but, those you leave behind.  Think twice before driving like an idiot….

Here is Scotty McCreery covering Garth’s “The Dance”.
