Stop the Text Stop the Wreck
Stop The Texts, Stop The Wrecks
In a facebook posting today, there is a most poignant episode of a senseless tragedy…
When Leslee Henson and husband David went out for a walk one day in their Utah community..
It was a just a peaceful outing, so perfect in an idyllic setting , and neither had any inkling…
Paradise land was about to be shattered to shreds, tragedy lurked in wait, unsuspectingly…
A speeding car with a flustered lady at the wheel, desperately multi tasking and texting on the go..
Speeding and texting, what a lethal combination, you and me, just about everybody would agree…
This fateful day, March 4, 2013, a sequence of tragic events is to unfold to impact all lives forever…
For astrologers and star gazers, they blame the juxtaposition of the sun, stars and planets forever..
This unfolding of life changing events that were destined to happen on that idyllic sidewalk started..
As the distracted lady driver in the speeding car, busily texting, slammed forcefully into the car ahead...
Poor Leslee Henson and husband David, they never knew how it happened until much later…
That hit car, it plowed into the loving couple, death to a loving husband, father and grandfather..
Plucky Leslee today is on a driven mission, even though she is a such pathetic sight to behold…..
What with head trauma, a fractured neck and back, and 5,000 stitches and staples in her skull…
With her neck in a brace, visible scars aplenty across her shaven head, what an impact she makes…
In spite of her grief and sorrow, this iron willed lady is sending out a most haunting message…
For each one of us, wherever we are stationed, immaterial of the actual location or nation…
All drivers, once behind the driving wheel of your car, you’re in control of a vehicle of destruction..
Be focused while on the road, do not be distracted by that phone, off the phone, mute its ringing..
With 9 deaths a day on the road from distracted driving, stop those texts, you’ll stop car wrecks!
