In 2018, 17-year-old Katelyn Ray lost her life in a tragic crash in Mississippi. She drove into the back of a slowed school bus while reportedly using her phone, never once hitting the brakes.
When first responders arrived, they found her phone still in her hand. The dozen children on the bus escaped unharmed, but Katelyn died instantly at the scene.
Her death serves as a stark example of how quickly distraction behind the wheel can turn fatal. A single glance at a screen can be enough to cost a life.
No text, no call, no notification is worth that risk. Katelyn’s story is a heartbreaking reminder to put your phone away and focus fully on the road.
