Md. Students Pledge Not to Text While Driving

FREDERICK, Md. - Every day, physicians and staff at Meritus Health Trauma and Emergency Services in Hagerstown see patients who are injured because a driver was not paying attention to the road, according to Mary Rizk, a spokeswoman for Meritus.

With that in mind, Meritus is partnering with Frederick County Public Schools to teach students the dangers of distracted driving.

Meritus' "Stay Alive! Don't Text and Drive" campaign kicked off this week at Oakdale High School with 543 of 874 Oakdale students signing the pledge not to text and drive.
