We are constantly seeing advice on TV about not texting and driving and maybe seen posts online of people bumping into lampposts or tripping up while texting.
I’ve just been told about a girl who’s family I know, she was in year one of medical studies at University and was jogging on the canal Bank on Tuesday while texting.
She wasn’t taking too much notice of where she was going and tripped and fell into the canal. Her body went into shock and she drowned.
Her phone was found on the bank with a partly written text unsent.
I hope this serves as a warning to others who text and jog, you could trip on a badly laid footpath and go under car for one example.
The sad occurrence was not local to Hyndburn.
