SD school warns against texting while driving

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — The Southeast Technical Institute in Sioux Falls is holding an event to warn people of the dangers of texting while driving.

Philip Sorensen, a former student at the school, was killed last year in an accident caused by another driver who was texting at the time of the crash. Sorensen’s parents, who have set up a scholarship endowment in their son’s honor, are scheduled to attend the event.
