It’s a warning that can’t be given too many times: Don’t use your phone while driving.
That said, it’s something almost all of us fall foul of one time or another. I myself have done it on occasion before, which I’m far from proud of.
After reading the story of 17-year-old Katelyn Ray, however, I’ve determined to never leave my phone within reach when I’m driving again. Remember, if you do use your phone when behind the wheel, you risk not only hurting yourself, but others as well.
The story took place early in the morning on September 5, 2018. Katelyn was on her way to pick up her big sister from work …
It wasn’t long after that before the Mississippi police received a call about a serious car accident. What they found at the crash site will remain in their memories forevermore.
Katelyn hadn’t seen the school bus that had slowed down in front of her on the highway. Tragically, she crashed into the back of it without braking, hitting the vehicle ahead at high speed.
There were more than twelve schoolchildren on the bus that morning. Fortunately none of them were physically injured and were taken to school via another bus. Things, however, did not end so well for Katelyn.
It was at the site of the crash that one of the first responders took a picture of the accident to warn others.
