Our beloved mother, Jeanette L. Campbell, was killed by a Bucks County man who drove through a red light that had been red for upwards of 18 seconds.

He recklessly crashed into our family vehicle, which had the green left arrow and right of way. He was driving so fast that his commercial dump truck was not seen until impact. He never braked and was subsequently found to be on the phone among other distractions. His young son was also in the front seat of the dump truck.

Jeanette Campbell’s body took the brunt of the impact while the family vehicle was pushed across the intersection and smashed into a phone pole. Jeanette’s daughter and three young grandchildren were rushed to the Emergency Room and survived the crash.

Despite the facts of the crash, Jeanette Campbell’s killing was ruled as involuntary manslaughter. The Bucks County driver never even lost his license.

Jeanette Campbell and the community at large deserve better. We have to End Distracted Driving NOW. Please take the pledge with our family. #justdrive

TAKE THE PLEDGE:

  • Protect lives by never texting or talking on the phone while driving.

  • Be a good passenger and speak out if the driver in my car is distracted.

For the past decade, distracted driving has taken U.S. roadways by storm, endangering not only distracted drivers, but also their passengers, those in other vehicles and pedestrians.

Talking on or manipulating your phone, adjusting the radio, applying makeup, eating or drinking can all distract you from the essential task of safe driving. Far too many drivers succumb to the deadly—and often illegal—temptation that has emerged as one of the most common forms of distracted driving—texting.

 
 

Distracted driving is dangerous, claiming 3,166 lives in 2017 alone. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration leads the national effort to save lives by preventing this dangerous behavior. Get the facts, get involved, and help us keep America’s roads safe.
