STOP TEXTING WHILE DRIVING!!!







You might think that with all the accidents that have been caused by texting while driving, people would get a clue and put down their phones and pay attention to the road. But it doesn't seem like that's happening any time soon. Here's a case in point . . .

On Wednesday, 25-year-old Nicholas Sparks of Burt, New York (--about 40 miles north of Buffalo), was towing a car with his flatbed truck.

But instead of focusing on the road, Nicholas was talking on one cell phone and sending a text message on another cell phone when he accidentally slammed into another car, then drove through a fence, sideswiped a house and crashed into a swimming pool. (!!!)

Nicholas was charged with reckless driving, talking on a cell phone and following too closely.

Fortunately, no one was seriously injured.
