Wow!! Of course the justice system still has to play out, but just a brief glimpse of the potential evidence against the company is shocking to say the least.

Know the facts. Stand with equal access to the courts for all.

Tragic on so many levels. It has been proven that texting and driving is every bit as dangerous as driving drunk. The lives of so many families, including that of the young driver, have been forever changed by a reckless choice.

The driver of a pickup truck that collided with a church minibus in rural Texas, killing 13 people, apologized after the crash and acknowledged he had been texting while driving, a witness said Friday.
