A recent scientific study revealed that texting while crossing the street significantly increases the chances of a pedestrian texting accident. Specifically, the odds of being hit by a vehicle while crossing the street increase by four times when pedestrians are texting compared to pedestrians who are not texting, according to research conducted by the Youth Safety Laboratory at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. And even more dangerous is listening to music and crossing the street at the same time, the same study reports.

A bicyclist was listed in critical condition after he was rear-ended by a truck in Augusta on Monday, Aug. 8, according to The Augusta Chronicle.

The cause of the accident appears to be truck driver negligence. Charges of following too closely are pending against truck driver Willie Ferrell.
