It's true. Don't text and drive. Daughter rear ended

by 18 year old texting at speed probably of 35 to 40 mph. Car totaled but daughter miraculously escaped with broken finger. Daughter's car hit one in front of her, etc. 5 car collision.

Punishments for texting while driving should be considerable more severe in my view.

Daughter believes she was protected by her guardian angel. Said she was in a White Box at time car hit. Who knows? She is a very good person. School social worker who works daily with kids who need help. She literally gives her guardian angel a high five every day. Wish I had her faith.

Thank you Lord.
