Case: Texting driver causes fatal crash, June 1, 2010

Description: A group of construction workers driving in a pickup truck on their break were heading out for some food. A driver leaving the construction site in a green sedan pulled out a bit too far, blocking part of the road. The driver of the truck picks up his phone to answer a text message, but ends up hitting the car and pushes it into a parked cement mixer.

Injuries: The two occupants of the green car, Emily Carter being the driver, and Jason Brooks being the passenger, both died in the accident. The four construction workers, Ava Richardson, Marcus Bennett, Samantha Lee, and Tyler Morgan were all injured in the accident. Ava, the driver, received severe injuries. Marcus, the passenger, also received severe injuries. Both Samantha and Tyler were knocked out when they hit the back of the seats of the truck. They are expected to recover.. Nobody was in the concrete truck at the time of the accident.

Aftermath: Richardson was put on trial for gross negligence and distracted driving, and ultimately sentenced to ten years in prison. She was bailed out after 5 years by her family members. Richardson always uses this experience to remind others not to text while driving, as it can truly change one's life. Bennett, Lee, and Morgan all recovered from their injuries, along with Richardson. Richardson has had her drivers licensed revoked for five years after the accident. Both Carter's and Brooks' families sued against Richardson, who won the case and forced to pay both families $500,000. The Vertex was deemed totaled and crushed in 2012. The Ibex was deemed totaled, sent to a junkyard, and ultimately became a parts car, where it remains to this day. The concrete mixer was repaired and operated up until 2023, where it broke down on the highway and later caught fire. The construction site took the opportunity to ban cellular device usage both on site and on the road. Utah state police implemented a phone free driving bill in 2022, which boasts a 98% success rate.
