Witness: Driver who hit church bus said he was texting
march 31 2017 Here's what we know about the tragic crash that killed 13 people near Garner State Park.
1. A truck driven by a Jack D. Young, 20, collided with a van carrying a church group on March 29, 2017 on U.S. 83 outside ... more
The driver of the pickup that hit a church bus Wednesday in Uvalde County told the first person who reached him in the wreckage, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I was texting on my phone.”
Jack D. Young, 20, was trapped in his truck. In the bus, 13 people were dying.
Jody Kuchler, 55, a welder from Leakey, had followed Young’s pickup for miles on U.S. 83, exclaiming as he watched it jerk in and out of its lane and trying to warn authorities as his girlfriend recorded the scene on her phone.
Young’s truck had hit the small bus as it rounded a curve, carrying 14 members of the First Baptist Church of New Braunfels home from a retreat in Leakey.
“The guy drifted over across the yellow line,” Kuchler said Friday. “The driver of the bus moved over to try to avoid him, but there was nowhere to go with the guardrail there and the truck hit him head on.”
including radios?....so i now suppose you are going to say you never have one on while in the car,right?.....All electronic toys should be banned from cars and that includes radios. The auto industry has brainwashed the idiot american into thinking highway homicide is cool. Car crashes mean car sales and the industry knows it.

WELL, My Dixie girl was run over by a idiot in a car, THE ASSHOLE never stopped Goddamn him! i wish I could run over HIM instead.I know you'll open a can of hate on me for saying this, but texting or no texting, your dog shouldn't be loose to get in the road. That IS on you. If my dog was run down in the road because I didn't keep her on leash and off the roadway, I'd blame myself and feel sorry for the driver.
That said, I believe smartphones should be made smart enough to auto-disable while in a moving vehicle. If they can't make technology good enough to discern whether the operator is a driver or passenger, then passengers will have to suffer without their phones. Bring back the old GPS gizmos, that's one function of smartphones that is necessary and useful in a vehicle.
Texting and even talking on the cell phone creates impairment equal to or greater than intoxication - numerous NHTSA studies have borne that out. We need to do something about the idiots who use their phones while driving or the carnage will continue.
The radio relaxes me when I drive and considering the kind of people we have to share the road with, the radio is better compared to what most people turn to.All electronic toys should be banned from cars and that includes radios.

I have been there, A texter ran over my dog, and then they pretend it was my fault. I don't own a gun, but I think it should be legal to harm smug ass texters-and drivers
to be fair Pogo,speedos is kind of an idiot....just sayin.....including radios?....so i now suppose you are going to say you never have one on while in the car,right?.....All electronic toys should be banned from cars and that includes radios.

Yeah that's insane. Heluva lotta drivers stay awake using the radio, and a heluva lot more use it to relax so they're not road raging. Apparently the OP wants even more accidents.
Plus, you don't watch the radio. I've seen idiots on the road watching TV. In the front.

I can't speak for any other state, but my state has a state wide leash law that simply states "No dog shall run free on any public land nor any unenclosed land of another."
That means not only can your dog not be off-leash when you walk it, it can't be off leash in your own yard if you don't have a fence to keep it in. So by all means, if I hit someone's dog in the road, not only is it their fault, I'll go after them for money to repair my car. And boy they better look out if I hit that dog on my motorcycle....I'll own their house....

It was your fault. The car has a right to be in the road, your dog doesn't. You could have been sued for any damage your dog did to their car, and if they swerve to avoid hitting your dog and wreck their car, you could be sued for that as well. Be glad the guy wasn't an asshole out for money or you'd have been fucked.
Oh bullshit. Cars do not own the earth. Period. Take some fucking responsibility. You know better.
If you drive into a tree because you can't be bothered to pay attention to what you're doing, is that the tree's fault?? Moron.

Not a good comparison. No tree will be in the middle of a road. A dog can run into the road. Cars don't rule the Earth, they do rule the road. The road exists for cars, not dogs. I need not accept any responsibility driving a car where I'm legally allowed to drive and I hit a dog that is illegally in the road. A dog has no right to the street. If I hit your dog in the street and it damages my car, believe me, I'm coming after you and I will win. I know this because my uncle did it with a dog about a half mile from my house. Big ass dog busted his bumper, the dog walked away with about 500 in vet bills. Car got about 800 dollars in damages. Dog was in the street, automatic loss for the defendant. Car repairs plus court costs. And he had to pay to fix his own dog. He could have been texting, or anything else. Doesn't make YOUR dog illegally out in the road is not HIS fault.
Translation:
"I hide behind lawsuits because I'm too much of a wimp to take responsibility for my own actions".
Poster please.

I don't know about that because you know that there are people out there who don't let losing their license stop them from driving. Now if their cars were to be confiscated, then it would be a different and more effective story.If text driving was punished by automatic loss of license for 5 years, this problem would end overnight.
You're the same guy who claimed on another thread that in your home state of Louisiana you could kill a man to prevent him from breaking into your unoccupied vehicle. Even after I quoted the law in your state to prove you wrong you refused to accept it and went on a binge of childish insults. Fortunately no one believed the crap you wee spouting.
Once again you are wrong. According to you, the laws of your state say, “"No dog shall run free on any public land nor any unenclosed land of another." So far, you are right. The Maryland Statutes do use those word; however you erroneously took these words to mean, “That means not only can your dog not be off-leash when you walk it, it can't be off leash in your own yard if you don't have a fence to keep it in.” You have a very serous problem with reading comprehension. The law you quoted addresses dogs on public land (not the land owned by the dog owner) and the unenclosed land of another (not the land of the dog owner). The law you quoted is completely silent regarding the rights of the dog's owneer to keep his dog on his own private preoprty.
2771. Dogs not to run at large. Summary: This Louisiana law states that no person shall permit any dog in his or her possession to run at large on any unenclosed land, or trespass upon any enclosed or unenclosed lands of another.
