Dead cheerleader might have been texting while driving
Two or so weeks ago, four cheerleaders and one not-cheerleader were killed in a horrific accident in New York State. New developments have shown that there were text messages recorded coming from the driver's phone shortly before the crash.
"Text messages were sent back and forth on a 17-year-old girl's cell phone moments before her sport utility vehicle slammed head-on into a truck, killing her and four other recent high school graduates, police said Friday."
If that isn't stupid enough, it turns out she shouldn't have been driving at all.
"Goodman only had a junior driver's license, making it illegal for her to be driving late at night or to be carrying so many young passengers."
I find it hard to believe the girl was actively passing another vehicle, at night, while text messaging someone. She probably gave her phone to someone else in the car. But still.
