AUSTIN, Texas — FRANKLIN — A jury that decided a Texas A&M student was texting while driving and caused a deadly wreck ordered him to pay $22 million in damages.

The victim, Megan Small of Houston, was a senior at Baylor University and was driving to Waco when the November 2007 accident happened near Calvert.

The investigation indicated a vehicle driven by Reed Vestal crossed the center line and struck Small’s vehicle head-on. Phone records indicated Vestal sent and received 15 texts and made seven calls in the 45 minutes before the wreck.

The damages will be shared with Small’s friend Laura Gleffe, who was driving another car that rolled during the crash.

I hate these laws. Not because I think texting or using a cell phone while driving, but because I believe the existing careless/reckless driving laws should be used to combat this problem.
