A Gloucester, Massachusetts woman was nearly killed in a car accident last month that was caused by texting while driving. Police reported that the driver that caused the car accident and caused serious personal injuries to a woman was in fact texting while driving. The injured woman, Jerry Favaloro, suffered a shoulder injury, injuries to both her knees and had to have a dozen stitchesput in her head.

Perhaps this statement from Favaloro best sums up the accident. “It totally infuriates me because of the fact that it didn’t have to happen. I just want to know what possessed her to text while she was driving.”
Favaloro was attempting to cross the street when she was hit and thrown 25 feet. The driver, a 27 year old woman, admitted that she was texting while driving at the time of the car accident.

Currently in Massachusetts, a complete ban on texting while driving is close to being passed.

Favaloro is happy about this potential ban and wants everyone to be aware of the dangers of texting while driving. She said, “when a person gets into an automobile accident they’re driving deadly weapon. And the next person might not be as lucky as I was.”
