Driver of this accident was texting & driving
Julie Davis lived a quiet life in Rudolph, WI.
But her time was cut short on April 15, 2009. That afternoon, she set out for a hike near her home with her best friend. As they walked beside the road, a 19-year-old driving at 70mph struck Julie from behind, killing her instantly.
There were no skid marks, no signs of attempted braking.
As Laurie puts it, "One second she was there, and the next she was gone."
Phone records and the accident investigation indicated the driver who struck Julie was likely distracted by her cell phone. Crash reconstruction reports showed that the driver must have taken her eyes from the road for almost 9 seconds to miss seeing two pedestrians. And two witnesses saw the driver swerving back and forth just prior to the crash.
