Tyler
It was a normal Wednesday afternoon I was talking to my best friend Tyler while he was driving to church. He knew what dangers came with texting and driving but he didn’t listen. He was my best friend and I was used to it. The next thing I knew I was finding out he wrecked and his truck had rolled. He didn’t have a seat belt on and he was texting and talking to his fiance who was right beside him. He got ejected from the vehicle and died instantly 6 days after his birthday.
He never even saw it coming. You wouldn’t even imagine the pain I went through after his death. He was always smiling and he was a great friend. I never would have imagined he would die so young. I have never stopped thinking about him. He showed me an important lesson that night. Texting and driving is not worth it at all. The hurt will never go away. You never think of the people that you hurt when your sending that text while you are driving but it hurts a lot more people than you would think.

Thank you for sharing your story Kindyl. I hope others will hear your story and decide not to reply to friends who text or call them while they’re driving. I bet you wish you hadn’t been texting with Tyler that day.
I happen to know tyler and his fiance who was in the vehicle with him…this is not what happened..
Well what happend then? Either way if that was true or not, its not good …it’s horrible.
instead of arguing over what happened we should agree that staying safe on the road is always best.
that was a tradgic loss. i have heard about this pleanty of times but it touches my heart every time.
