Texting while driving can destroy lives and futures, as illustrated by what happened to the Jones family who endured enormous suffering when their three-year-old boy Griffin was nearly killed because someone was driving while texting. 

On October  19, 2008, Bastop County, Texas, an 18-year-old girl plowed directly into the rear of another vehicle. She  was going 70 mph.  She apparently never even saw them because she was texting and not paying attention to the road.   You can see that she hit them dead-center with no attempt to slow or evade the collision. She escaped unscathed -physically. There was no blowout, no wet road, no curve or hill or fog to limit  visibility.  This girl clearly should have been able to see the traffic  conditions at least a half mile ahead had she been looking and not texting.
