This driver decided to answer a text message and this was the result. Sending or reading a text takes your eyes off the road for approximately 5 seconds. At 55 mph, that’s like driving the length of an entire football field with your eyes closed. Traffic crashes are the leading cause of death for teenagers in the United States.
