SHARON....Really get a life...Who are you to comment on the situation? Were you there? Maybe you can find something better to do with your time, instead of commenting on a very unfortunate and sad event. Futher, the individual (s) involved have families have some respect and consideration for others......

Sharon....what does texting have to do with this collision? Police are suggesting speed and / or alcohol may be at play, not texting. You may consider reading this article once again to get your facts straight.

I am a firm believer that texting a driving has become a huge problem-I travel the highway 4 times a month, and if I were to issue a ticket everytime I witnessed someone texting while driving, I would have a hard time keeping up with it....higher fines and possibly jail time is needed...its getting out of hand!
