DON’T text while driving!

Whenever I see one of these, I check it out on Snopes to make sure it's genuine. This one’s true. This photograph is of a deadly collision that happened August 5, 2010, near Gray Summit, Missouri. The pickup driver and a 15-year-old student both died. Thirty-eight other people were hurt.

Accompanying caption to photograph:

You see that crumpled mess of gray steel and wheels under that bus and on the back of the big truck?

That WAS a pickup truck!

The driver of that pickup truck was a 19 year old male, who had received and sent 11 text messages in the 11 minutes prior to this crash. He rear ended the big truck tractor at 55 MPH, causing his pickup to go up onto the back of the big truck tractor, the school bus rear-ended both of them, running up and over the pickup truck, and a second school bus that you can't see in the picture, rear-ended the school bus you see here.

In all, the young man driving the pickup WHILE TEXTING, DIED, and one student on one of the buses died.

Is TEXTING WHILE DRIVING REALLY THAT IMPORTANT?
