The couple involved in the accident where driving a motorcycle on the highway when the defendant who was allegedly driving with his elbows and texting slammed into them.
This is just one of the growing number of stories that involved distracted drivers causing accidents on our roadways. While a huge problem in general, the act of distracted driving is a huge problem with teen drivers in particular. If you are a parent of a teen driver, please speak with your teen and explain the importance of not texting and driving.
