9/30/2011 at 11am a 54 year old man was driving 55 mph and was misdialing a number on his blackberry trying to tell a client he was running late. His continued misdialing lead to him blowing through the stop signs and t-boning my wife in her driver side door who'll she was doing 55mph. My wife never regained consciousness and was pronounced dead 45minutes later. R.I.P Patricia McNamara 9/8/1961- 9-30-2011.

Laws need to change and people need to change. Untill then nothing with change.my nephew Tyler was killed dec 2, 2015 to distracted driving. He was video taping himself coming home from work. Hit a power pole killed instantly then flip and rolled in to 3 more trees. Now i am in this fight to get kids and parents to understand distracted driving does. Will, killed in one split sec of your eyes off the road. What ever it takes i am going to help and get tyler's story heard so no more lives are taken. Tyler left 4 yr old twin boys who are now fatherless.
