Ugh, “According to the trooper’s report, Wanninkhof and Anderson were riding west when a westbound 2014 Chevy driven by Sarah Morris, 34, of Cordell hit them.

Sickening and sad. Driving + smartphones are a deadly combination. I wonder if the cellphone industry would consider taking this problem on with a massive public campaign.
