Police say a texting and speeding driver slammed into Judy Claybourne on a North Carolina highway. She’s among the 40,000 killed in crashes last year, a rate of nearly 110 a day. It’s the most in almost a decade.
According to the survey. some factors contributing to the spike are:
- 47 percent of motorists are comfortable texting while driving
- 16 percent don’t wear seatbelts
- 10 percent drive under the influence of alcohol or marijuana.
