Texting while driving (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/texting+while+driving/) is a horrible, horrible idea. This is not news. And as unfortunate as this story may be, we have to admit, it's a little ironic.
Chance Bothe, a 21-year-old college student from Texas, drove his pickup truck off of a bridge, over a cliff and down into a deep ravine. But the last text he sent before the accident occurred is where the bit of irony - and nearly tragic foreshadowing - comes into focus.
