In 2013, more than 3,000 lives were lost in the United States to distracted drivers.

A Tennessee bus driver tasked with safely transporting children on their way home from school pulled out his phone and began to text. Soon after, the yellow school bus slammed into another, killing two children and a teacher's aide.
Sharon Glasper, the mother of 7-year-old Knoxville girl Seraya, who died in the accident, says she has forgiven driver James Davenport, 44, but will never forget the unimaginable hurt his actions caused last December.
"I don't have hatred in my heart," Glasper told The Huffington Post on Monday. "Hatred is something I don't believe in. I forgive, but I can't forget that day."
Davenport was found dead in his home last Monday. The Knoxville Police Department has released little information on his death.
