A college student named Chance from Texas was texting and driving. He was texting I need to quit texting and driving when his truck flew off of a cliff. After the crash, Chance had a broken neck, a crushed face, a fractured skull, and traumatic brain injuries. Doctors had to bring him back to life three times. Now, 6 months later, he's finally able to talk about what happened. This happened August 2 2012 in Huntsville Alabama. The reasons why it happened because he was not focused on one task and was texting while driving.  

I’m sure we all can relate to this article because here in New York there have been similar accidents like this one. I really find this interesting that In Alabama someone can almost kill themselves and or others by texting and driving, and only have to pay a $25 fine. But here in New York you get 5 points on your license and a $150 fine plus a $50 surcharge a total of $200.
