Please, please, please don't use your phone and drive!
At only 20 years old, North Dakota resident Abby Sletten has been charged with negligent homicide, all because she couldn't put her phone down long enough to drive.
According to police reports, Sletten had not only sent several text messages while driving, she was looking at Facebook at the time of the crash.
According to the filed complaint, "Investigators found no evidence that Sletten of Hatton, had tried to brake before the crash, which 'suggested the possibility that Sletten may have not seen the vehicle in front of her or that she was possibly distracted while driving.'"
This is such a tragedy because it could have easily been prevented. There is no reason to be looking at your phone while you're driving. Even if it's only for a second – that second could cost you your life.
