ABERDEEN, Wash. -- A teen suspected of texting and talking on a cell phone while driving escaped with only minor injuries when he crashed, causing a fence post to spear his windshield.
Washington State Patrol Trooper Russ Winger said the teen was eastbound on Highway 12 near Aberdeen Lake Road on Saturday when other drivers reported seeing him texting and talking on the phone while driving erratically.
The 18-year-old driver made a U-turn a short time later and then crashed off the side of the highway and into a fence.
A piece of the fence smashed through pickup truck's windshield and "nearly took his head off," Winger said of the driver.![]()

Looks like the steering wheel got bent from the wood, but then turned since the damage happened

Well, at least he was okay, otherwise the government would pass legislation to ban cell phone use while driving. Oh wait, is that illegal already?

No joke, I can spot texting drivers from a mile away because they look like they're drunk.
And it's INSANE how many teens I see texting and driving, especially that school is out for the summer.
