- Dear Jeff - The following story is from
- http://cellular-news.com/story/10054.shtml
-
- An Abington, Massachusetts woman has died after crashing
her car while driving and using a cell phone at the same time. In potentially
the greatest of ironies, she crashed the car after losing control and driving
straight into a cell phone retail store, operated by Cingular Wireless.
-
- The young woman was not wearing a seat belt when she
crashed into the phone shop and she died at hospital. It took rescuers
about 20 minutes to free her from the wreckage of the car, a 1999 Mercury
Cougar.
-
- Local Police said Lawton, a Massasoit Community College
student studying to be an emergency medical technician, was talking to
a friend on her cell phone at the time. Lawton told her friend, 'I'm about
to get into an accident.' The friend told police she heard the crash and
then the phone disconnected, police said.
-
- Abington is a small community of 13,000 people some 12
miles south of Boston.
