Students start campaign against texting and driving - The Nicholls ...
Texting while driving is a commonly debated danger, but a group of mass communication students are running a campaign to spread warnings to students before it's too late.
In accordance with a public relations campaign class, Kacey Alario, Kaye Arcement, Cody Martin and Brittany White have been working for several weeks to advance their campaign, TXT = RIP, and to educate the Nicholls community about texting while driving.
"Professionally, the campaign helped me to see how a public relations campaign actually unfolds, and it was good preparation before graduation to allow me to be the working force behind the campaign and not just learn about it from a lecture," Martin, mass communication public relations senior, said. "Hopefully our campaign educates individuals, not only on Nicholls campus but statewide, on the laws and dangers of texting and driving."

Texting a factor in fatal Flagler crash
Brandy Michelle Cannon, 22, "admitted she was texting" in the crash that killed a 40-year-old Palm Coast woman last year, a report from the FHP states. Cannon was driving on State Road 100 when she crossed into the oncoming traffic lane because she was texting, according to the report.
Texting while driving is not illegal in Florida, but investigators are considering it a factor in their investigation, which could lead to a vehicular homicide charge or just a noncriminal traffic citation.
The crash happened about 10:25 p.m. Oct. 29, 2011, on S.R. 100 near County Road 45 in western Flagler County. Cannon was headed west in her Dodge Neon and drifted into the eastbound lane, continuing for some distance, according to a diagram from the FHP.
Cannon's Dodge nearly crashed into an eastbound pickup before smashing into a Ford Explorer driven by Kimberly Dionne Lacy, 45, of Bunnell. Lacy survived but her passenger, Loretta Ann Patterson, died of her injuries the next day, about three hours after the accident, at Halifax Medical Center in Daytona Beach.
