Texas Driver Hit with $22 Million Verdict for Crash that Killed College Student

A Texas driver who crossed the center line while texting and struck another vehicle head-on, killing the driver, was found responsible for the crash and ordered to pay damages of $22 million.  The victim was a senior at Baylor University and was driving back to school when her car was hit.  The driver who caused the accident claimed he did not have a cell phone at the time of the crash.  However, his phone records indicated he sent 15 texts and made seven calls in the 45 minutes just before the collision.  KTRK-TV (Houston) reported that the victim's family is unlikely to see much money from the huge verdict; the at-fault driver "declared bankruptcy just before the trial and his insurance has limits far below the $22 million. But [the victim's parents] say it's never been about the money."
