Oops: Teen Hits Cop While Text Messaging

Parents, there’s a new common-sense rule you have to give to your eye-rolling teenagers: Don’t text message while driving! It may sound like a no-brainer, but a 17-year-old in Michigan crashed into a parked police car Sunday while he was sending a text message. The collision spun the patrol car around and hit an officer who was attending to a previous crash on the side of the road. The teen driver was OK, but the officer remains in the hospital.
