Episode #128 - Stop Texting AND Distracted Driving (STANDD)
Morgan Carroll and Diveeta Thompson talk about the dangers of texting and driving on tonight's Experience Michiana.

Sadly, Diveeta lost her son in a car accident a few years ago when he was driving distracted. She founded Stop Texting AND Distracted Driving (STANDD) and has made it her life's work to save other families from the loss of life.

Thanks to Saint Mary's College student Morgan Carroll, Diveeta is speaking to students on campus today.
