Woman Dies While Driving And Updating Facebook Status
Parents want to make it illegal to text while driving
An 18-year-old college student died after she was updating her Facebook status while she was driving.
Taylor Sauer, who was driving from her college campus at Utah State University in Logan, Utah on her way to visit her parents in Idaho, crashed her car into a tanker truck that was going 15 mph up a hill and was killed instantly.
Her last status update was: "I can't discuss this now. Driving and facebooking is not safe! Haha."
At the time, Sauer was driving 80 mph and was posting about every 90 seconds during her drive.
Her parents are now looking to make texting while driving illegal.
Idaho State Police Lt. Sheldon Kelley.
"The text messages were both incoming and outgoing during her trip between Logan, Utah [and the accident scene]," said Idaho State Police Chief Sheldon Kelley. "In addition to the texting, there were multiple Facebook communications to and from Taylor Sauer during the minutes immediately prior to the crash."
