INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - State and business leaders are teaming up with AT&T Thursday to begin a new campaign to try and convince people to stop texting and driving.
The group will take a driving simulator to North Central High School Thursday to demonstrate the dangers of texting and driving.
Similar events will be help around the state over the next few weeks. The event is part of AT&T’s program “It Can Wait.”
The program involves television ads featuring a man paralyzed from a crash that he says he caused when he was texting a friend.
Texting and driving is against the law in Indiana. The U.S. Department of Transportation estimates 3,000 people die each year in crashes caused by distracted drivers.
