Minnesota State Patrol Hopes This Video Will Make Drivers Put Their Phone Down

The Minnesota State Patrol is hoping this video will make you put your phone down and concentrate on driving. The video tells the story of an accident that should never of happened. Nearly one year ago on June 30th, Chris Weber picked up his cell phone to make a bank transaction while driving. His decision to take his eyes off of the road and focus his attention on his phone led to a crash that killed Andrea Boeve, a mother of two who was out on a bike ride with her young daughters.

The video features interviews with Andrea’s husband Matt and Chris Weber.  It's titled "Shattered Dreams: Distracted Driving Changes Lives" and sends a powerful message about how lives can easily be destroyed by distracted driving.
