Texting & Driving Car Accidents Kill | Toledo Ohio car accident lawyer

Two men were recently charged with crimes after their respective texting while driving car accidents killed two people.

Jonathan Harp, of Lima, crashed into the back of a pickup truck because he was texting and didn't see the vehicle stopped in front of him. The accident killed his three-year-old daughter Macy and seriously injured his seven-year-old daughter Shannon. He faces up to a year in prison.

Reynoldsburg citizen Daniel Jacobs was recently indicted after his texting while driving car accident killed 16-year-old Dalton Ludwig, who was out for a driving lesson. The driving instructor who was in the car with Dalton was seriously injured in the accident.

The Toledo Ohio personal injury lawyers at the Charles E. Boyk Law Offices seriously hope these new punishments will discourage drivers from texting behind the wheel. The dangers are real, and drivers must consider the consequences before reading or writing a text message.
