Hi.

That happened a short distance from Rochester on Routes 5 and 20 in the 
town of Bloomfield, NY.  There were five teenage girls in a Chevvy Trail 
Blazer and they hit a tractor trailer head on.  The driver was text 
messaging, had just passed a vehicle and was doing 60 when she hit the 
truck.  All five were killed instantly, and the fireball went 50 feet into 
the air.  It burned so hot that it brought the electric lines down and it 
was well into the next day before the power was back on in 
Bloomfield.  There is a bill pending in the New York State legislature to 
make it illegal to text message while driving a motor vehicle.  It should 
be obvious to anyone with any intelligence that you don't do that, and 
perhaps they should be nominated for this year's Darwin award.  But help me 
out here.  They were already breaking five laws when they had the 
accident.  What difference is it going to make if they break a sixth?
