VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) - A Clark County, Wash., Fire District 6 spokeswoman said a young male driver was text-messaging just before a head-on crash Tuesday that left him with traumatic injuries.
Spokeswoman Dawn Johnson said the 18-year-old unidentified driver was northbound in a Mitsubishi Eclipse on a local street when he swerved into southbound lanes and collided with a GMC Sierra truck. Johnson said the young man's mother came to the crash site and said her son had been texting her at the time.
The young man was taken to Southwest Washington Medical Center for treatment; his condition was not known. The male truck driver was taken to the hospital for evaluation.
According to Clark County Fire District 6, the driver will be cited for negligent driving in the second degree.
According to the Clark County Sheriff’s Office, the man had no insurance and was driving with a suspended license.

When I saw the black evo in Vancouver I was like "Thomas!" TK_Evo on here, I believe.
But after i saw the pic of the driver i was relieved.

Yeah I hope the kid isn't going to be seriously injured, but I do hope this shows people what can happen while you're distracted, especially when texting. I have trouble just answering my phone while driving, let alone send a text.
Also don't drive without a license OR insurance. I can't imagine what this would end up like if he hit a smaller car.
