Teen crashes into van, kills father and daughter after 'refusing to stop texting while driving’

A defiant teenager ignored her friends' pleas to stop texting at the wheel moments before she ran a red light and crashed, killing a father and his young daughter, prosecutors said.

Carlee R. Bollig, 17, allegedly told her friends to leave her alone before running a red light and smashing into Charles Maurer's minivan moments before the horror crash, the Star Tribune reported.

The teenager, from Little Falls, Minnesota, was driving without a licence when she went straight through an intersection despite her passengers screams of "red light, red light!", charging documents reportedly show.

Authorities say she failed to brake when her pickup truck slammed into the side of a minivan carrying Charles Maurer, his two daughters and their friend.

The 54-year-old dad-of-three was airlifted to hospital where he died a short time later, the Star Tribune reported. Full story...
