17-year-old crashes into school bus and died, only for police to find something in her hand that crushes my heart

The tragic story of 17-year-old Katelyn Ray serves as a powerful reminder not to use your phone while driving. On September 5, 2018, Katelyn crashed into a school bus after failing to notice it had slowed down. She didn’t brake, and tragically, she was killed instantly. Police found her phone still in her hand, suggesting she was distracted while driving.

The accident occurred while Katelyn was on her way to pick up her sister. Thankfully, the children on the bus were unharmed, but Katelyn’s life was cut short. Her mother, Shelia, had asked Katelyn to pick up her sister that morning—making it their last conversation.

This heart-wrenching incident underscores the dangers of using a phone while behind the wheel. Let this serve as a warning to always keep your attention on the road.

The tale has many versions, but this is the general gist. Today, St Michael de Rupe counts as the highest working church in southern England – poised dramatically on top of a western outlier of Dartmoor’s tor...

As for which color to choose, go with your gut — and be sure to complement your home’s overall exterior paint and trim colors.  2.
