Teen in Crash May Have Been Text Messaging
An AP newswire article, via Yahoo! News, reports that:
A 17-year-old likely will face misdemeanor charges after allegedly losing control of his car while text messaging and hitting a bicyclist.
The bicyclist, Jim R. Price of Highlands Ranch [Colorado], died Friday, two days after the accident.
"We do not believe it was an intentional act, but it was inattentiveness to the roadway," said Lt. Alan Stanton, spokesman for Douglas County Sheriff's Office.
"The investigation showed that he was text-messaging on his cell phone" at the time of the accident, said Stanton.
