Teen Sentenced to Prison for Texting-While-Driving Death Harsh punishment is warning to others not to text and drive. By: Jena Kehoe Web2Carz Staff Writer Published: June 11th, 2012 Massachusetts teenager was sentenced this week to two years in prison and loss of his license for 15 years after being convicted of motor vehicle homicide. Aaron Deveau, 18, is the first driver in the state to face such charges. On February 20, 2011, Deveau was driving and his vehicle swerved across the center line, crashing head on into Daniel Bowley's truck, causing life-ending injuries.

Between the bus and the big rig is what’s left of a pickup, which was being driven by a 19-year-old kid. Just prior to slamming into the semi, the young driver had sent or received 11 text messages in as many minutes. Just after the collision, two school busses joined the chain reaction, killing a 15-year-old student. The texting driver also died. Two tragic losses that defy rationalization. pickup truck

According to a 2009 Pew Internet Study: One in three (34%) texting teens ages say they have texted while driving. That translates into 26% of all American teens ages 16-17; Half (52%) of cell-owning teens ages say they have talked on a cell phone while driving. That translates into 43% of all American teens ages 16-17; 48% of all teens ages say they have been in a car when the driver was texting; 40% say they have been in a car when the driver used a cell phone in a way that put themselves or others in danger.
