Minnesota Mother Driving While Facebooking Kills Three Children




[From article]
For months investigators didn’t know why Milberg drove into traffic, it wasn’t until the snow melted that they found her phone.
After requesting information from Facebook, investigators pinpointed a back-and-forth chat Milberg was having with a man as she drove.
Timestamps show she received her last message at 3:39 p.m. The crash was called in at 3:41 p.m.
In a Wisconsin State Patrol report, it says “Milberg was actively sending and receiving Facebook chat messages just prior to the crash.”
“It is likely,” the report adds, “that driver inattention is a significant contributing factor in this collision.”
The report also says that Milberg’s tires did not have good tread, and that she had a therapeutic amount of oxycodone in her system.
