Texting rises as issue in Mississippi

Texting while driving is becoming more of an issue in Mississippi courtrooms, with a Marshall County judge being asked to make public a video allegedly showing a driver texting as his vehicle collided with another.

And in Massachusetts, the state’s first texting-while-driving case is unfolding this week, with jurors deciding whether an 18-year-old was not just speeding but texting when he struck a car, killing its driver and severely injuring a passenger.
