Text Messaging Possible Factor in Fatal Train Wreck

A Metrolink engineer at the helm of a commuter train in Los Angeles, California, was found to have been text messaging seconds before colliding with a freight train. 25 people were killed in the accident and numerous others were injured.

@TheNewsOwl I have seen people on here posting pics they took while driving and I want to scream at them to put their phones down.
In the UK, if you're caught as much as touching your phone while driving, you can potentially lose your license.

@stueytheround I can not stand when people do such. I wish we had stricter lawa on such tbh.
