From Fox News:
Authorities say a
16-year-old girl who died after losing control of her car had been
texting on her cell phone moments before the accident.
Seems like it would be a perfect story for warning teens and drivers in general not to do something stupid like sending text messages while driving, right? Well, when you read further into the story:
Authorities say Preuss had been driving drunk and was speeding.
If this is how far the media have to look to find a case where the use of a cell phone contributed to a car crash, I'm not going to get too upset at all the yahoos I see driving around New Jersey with their cell phones plastered to their ears.
