judge ruled that he had been using his mobile to send a text message while
driving a truck at over 50mph. Browning veered into a lay by, hitting and
killing Paul Hammond. The police also performed an analysis of Browning's SIM card. They found that the message was sent four minutes after the crash. SMH reports another similar case of SMS as road killer.
A young female driver who killed a cyclist while she was text messaging will walk free after a judge today gave her a fully suspended two-year prison sentence. Silvia Nicole Ciach, 24, of Curlewis, pleaded guilty to culpable driving causing death after her car smashed into a bicycle ridden by 36-year-old Anthony Marsh on Port Arlington Road, near Geelong, on December 31, 2001. The County Court in Geelong was told earlier that Ciach had not seen Mr Marsh's bicycle because she was writing a text message to let a friend in Melbourne know she would be meeting her at one o'clock. Never talk or text on your mobile when you are driving. |
