dumb-ass teen texting and driving

Did text-messaging lead to N.Y. crash?

Not politics, but scary as hell for any parent.

Text messages were sent and received on a 17-year-old driver's cell phone moments before the sport utility vehicle slammed head-on into a truck, killing her and four other recent high school graduates, police said.

Bailey Goodman was driving her friends to her parents' vacation home when her SUV, which had just passed a car, swerved back into oncoming traffic, hit a tractor-trailer and burst into flames. Five days earlier, the five teenagers had graduated together from high school in Fairport, a Rochester suburb.

If true, it is too bad that the driver didn't live just so that she could reap the consequences of her idioctic actions.
It is just a shame that she had to murder 4 other teens due to her irresponsible driving.
