Dear Friends,
I know we  the Blind do not drive, but we do go in the car with others who 
are driving, whether it be our family members, or Sighted Friends or 
Associates, or even our "Paratransit" drivers.
Please send this message around, or even just tell your friends and family, 
you care for them, and do not want this to happen to them.
With Best Regards,
God Bless,
Alan

Courtney Ann Sanford,  R. I. P.
Texting to death

Courtney Ann Sanford was a 32-year-old woman from Clemmons, North Carolina.
She was frantically posting "self IES" and "happy comments" on Facebook 
while she was driving her car.
Seconds after her last post, Courtney's car crossed the median and hit an 
oncoming truck on Business Route 85 in High Point, North Carolina one day 
not long ago. Her vehicle ran off the road and burst into flames. She was 
pronounced dead at the scene.
The truck hit a tree, but the driver wasn't injured.

Police said Courtney Ann Sanford had her seat belt on, but that it wasn't 
properly buckled.
High Point Police Lieutenant Chris Weisner said investigators have ruled out 
drugs, alcohol, and speed as being involved in the fatal accident.
Sanford posted her Facebook message at 8:33 a.m., just  seconds before she 
rammed the oncoming truck.
"As sad as it is, it is a grim reminder for everyone .
you just have to pay attention while you are driving in the car  and put off 
that "Texting" till you stop driving!!
Luckily she rammed a sturdy truck, and not YOU or a soft SUV with a Mom and 
full  of kids.
