I still remember when this happened. I was a freshman at a nearby university, and the accident happened on the same road that I used everyday to get to uni. I knew the guy that caused it. I had a class together with him in high school, and his sister was in the same grade as me, my grandparents went to the same church as their family. It's just so sad...I can't imagine losing my parents at the same time in such a way. I know they would be so proud of her and how far she's come. As for Todd, I'm sure he lives with the guilt every single day.
It doesn't matter how many stories people hear they never listen, people are selfish they drive drunk they drive while on their phone even tho their cars have Bluetooth people are stupid period
Oh this poor girl! I lost both my parents 10 days apart and the pain is unbelievable. But I was 39 and had a very supportive husband. I can't imagine being 18 and having ALL these injuries. God bless her.
When I graduated from hell- i mean high school a classmate of mind got some terrible news. His dad and little sister had gone to another town to pick up both sets of grandparents. On the way back they were behind a semi truck. Suddenly the truck swerved so dramatically it went off the road completely and crashed through a fence. But it was already too late for a reaction to save them when the reason for the truck's wild maneuver could be seen. My classmates sister, father, grandparents were all killed instantly along with the other driver (who it turned out was drunk). On top of that, the truck driver was absolutely destroyed by guilt. He started drinking, lost his job, and died a few years later, sleeping on the streets. It pretty much destroyed graduation. The kid was quite popular and an extremely nice person. I got bullied a lot, and even though I barely knew him, he stuck up for me several times. God, I haven't thought of him in years. I hope he's doing okay. He'd be 49 or 50 by now. I hope he's doing okay.
She came to my school Friday. My friend sitting right next to me was crying and I almost cried but this is so inspirational. I’ve been praying for her and her family and she is super cool and funny. Her and her husband are the best in the world. I love you all so much!! So happy you’re alive to share the story with so many so they can be aware of these things.
I'm from Harrisburg PA and we now have laws against being on a cell phone while driving. It is illegal to do anything on your phone while behind the wheel of a car. And the laws are strictly enforced. I'm so very sorry to hear your story. Bless your parents and bless you for all you have done to stop texting and driving. May life bring you happiness and prosperity.
PA resident and we have laws against texting while driving taht's it. No law against using your cell phone for phone calls, ect. while driving, at least not yet.
Dear Ms. Good, I am so sorry for all you and your family and community have gone through. I pray that all the children who loved your mom will make wiser decisions in the future regarding when and when NOT to use a mobile phone. Thank you for sharing your story. May many hundreds of thousands of ears listen well.
Just wanted you to know 8 years later, your message is getting across. I will share as well. My sympathy for your loss. As the father of 4 daughters and 5 children, I couldn't imagine the impact must have had on you. Continue sharing.
i was in a near fatal car crash and the feeling is terrible espesially when you keep reliving that terrible moment and feering it every time you get into a car feeling the feeling of anxiety and panic
Prayers, love and hugs to you. I'm sorry for the pain you are still having to experience. You are a badass and meant to be here and I thank you for your inspiration!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I teach Personal Finance in high school. When I start the lesson about car insurance, I show the 3+ minute video you did for "It can wait". I am sure I do not change every student, but I think that video is more effective than me preaching about how stupid it is (even though I do add about 6 personal stories I can share including a former student who killed herself while texting and driving and left a very young daughter without a mother). Thank you for that video.
I'm so sorry for everything you've lost. Sadly, with everything else that you continue to deal with, losing your Mom and Dad, this makes my heart ache for you. I hope you will continue to improve and that our God above, will continue to hold you tightly in his loving arms. Warmest wishes from Dallas, Texas ❤
That's a horrible horrible unpunished crime. Jacy lost her parents and almost her own life. Survived to then be slapped again by an unjust judicial system. I agree with the hang up and drive law that needs to be a part of every state town county throughout the world. And strict fines, suspensions and jailtime should be mandatory punishment. To think that our society as intelligent as we are, could just allow lives lost over human stupidity is a crime in itself. I'm sorry for Jacys loss. Jacy I really hope you and other victims get the laws passed and justice for your losses. It's not fair it's unacceptable and dirty judicial bullshit to overlook any life lost due to driving distracted. It's just as bad as driving under an influence.
its horrible...this brave lady shines..i wish i had an eighth of her courage my prayers are with you and i am very sorry you lost your parents they were good people BLESS YOU
That gentlemen that caused this should have double life then other charges. God Bless the lady whom survived. Sorry for your loss. I will always keep you in my Prayer from now on.
I’m so sorry about your parents and your injuries. You’re so right, it’s just not Okay. I was hit head on by a 75 year old man who had answered a call from his wife after leaving his daily afternoon club. He was drunk and it’s thought by his wife who testified he dropped the phone and he may have blacked out. She heard the horrific loud crash as he hit me traveling 62mph in a 20 mph zone. I was stopped, blinker on, waiting to make a left hand turn into my residential neighborhood. Literally 200 ft from entering my driveway. Brain injuries suck. Bless You for advocating. Much love to you.
I just watched this video. I see so many people on their phones every day and it scares me so much! I go to work very early in the mornings, and it’s dark. People pass me doing over 90 mph, and I see their phones up in their faces. Why do they do that?? I have ear buds and Siri. I know most people do these days. USE THEM!!! This young lady is precious and so were her parents!! So sad that this senseless tragedy had to happen because someone wasn’t paying attention !!!! Get OFF your darn phones!!
So SO SORRY< wow .. so sad..thank you for sharing your story, I really hope people will learn from this.. thank you. It;s so sad, that texting and killing is O.K. but if you had a beer three days ago, you get life in prison. I don't understand
watching this in 2018, i'm so happy that it has become so much more socially unacceptable to talk on the phone while driving without a hands free option.
I See a lot of people still holding phone up in the air, as if that's ok. Cause you not holding to your ear. I don't care if you're talking. You are supposed to be "Hands Free". So many bluetooth options.
In the state of Georgia since 2010, it's been illegal for drivers to text while driving or use social media while driving but you've been able to talk on your phone with the phone up to your ear in your hand. Now you can't do that anymore because nobody would comply with Georgia's ban on texting while driving. It was largely unenforceable. Drivers can only talk on their phones by using speakerphone, a smartwatch, or use the bluetooth system in their vehicle. New legislators and lawmakers have realized that distracted driving is killing our young people on the road. Driving is not the number one thing in the car anymore. You can touch the phone to answer or hang up a call. The only time you can hold your cell phone to your ear is if you are calling 911 to report an emergency, accident, or medical problem.
Thanks to Covid I'm watching all kinds of videos. This situation is so horrible and disturbing. PAY ATTENTION PEOPLE. You're only job when you're driving is driving. It's not that hard to understand.
I remember as a 15-year-old driver’s ed. student (an embarrassing number of years ago), our teacher, Mr. Sarina, drilling it into our heads that “DRIVING IS A FULL TIME JOB !” ... Now, the world’s population has practically doubled since 1973, and despite advances in safety, driving is still not all that safe anyway. Add crackphones to the mix and it’s probably not even as safe as way-back-when. Recently, a couple that my son knew (only married about a month) was killed in a head-on by a guy in a truck who crossed the line while picking out a song on...take a guess...We all need to be “in-the -moment and aware.
its 8 years on and Hope Jacey is doing good. I'm glad Australia is also addressing this with mobile use detection on roads. One comment from a website says: "Distracted driving is just as dangerous as drink driving and taking your eyes off the road for more than two seconds while driving doubles your chances of being involved in an accident." I was happy to see some American school drama reenactments on RUclips and I hope the kids grow up with more memories of what can happen if they get distracted.
Unfortunately we here in ga have hands free law yet it hasn’t done a bit of good! I drive a truck through Atlanta and 75-80 % are on their phone!!!! Never ending!!! GBY!!’
Oh my god. I am so so sorry. I know this woman will not see this but my heart hurts for. Because it wasnt your parents time to go. It was wrongfully taken from them. I wish all the best for you. You survived for a reason. Your story will always stick with me and i will share it to make others aware.
So many distracted teens at my kids’ school...I wish that she would come speak to them because they think just because they live in a rural area they can be on their damn cell phones! These kids all speed too and don’t pay attention. They are putting themselves and other people’s’ lives in danger due to being on their phones and being distracted and overall not caring enough. Really sad. I do know that her being there and speaking to them about this and them seeing what she has been through could really be an eye opener and make a huge difference.
So sorry about your experience! I’ve had to completely leave the road because of distracted phone users driving with my wife in the car! Hang up & drive!
You are never going to get rid of Bluetooth. It is way to integrated. But yes, there needs to be a law in all 50 states against any hand held device period. First offence $200 ticket . Second offence $400 ticket. Third offence your licence is suspended for 90 days. PUT THE FUCKING PHONE DOWN AND DRIVE!!!
Marc Field how about this; second offense is a suspended license, third offense, license is shredded and you must take the whole course over again. However, you get a heat-stamped icon on the card indicating that it is the second time the license was acquired.
I agree 1000%. When a person is driving their eyes should be on the road, not on their phone 📱 I was actually rear ended by someone who was looking at his phone while driving, so I can relate. I had no injuries and my car had minimal damage thank God. Some people are killed because they cause an accident or their victims of someone else’s distraction. Fortunately this young lady survived and is raising awareness over this issue. I think there should be severe consequences for distracted drivers. Not just a fine, but that and having their license suspended IMO
I agree with you. It's not ok. The 16 yr old that killed my son was distracted as well. She didn't get charged because they deemed it as a accident. I met you at kkad25 in Colorado. You are an inspiration..your story touched my ❤.
I had my hand on the mouse ready to skip to a better video. Glad I continued watching cause this is the best video I have seen in a long time. What a terrific young lady. Talk about taking lemons and making lemonade. God gave you a new purpose. If I lived by her I would take her to dinner. I am a CDL-A holder myself and you would not believe the things I have seen. Cell phone use is just the start.. I have seen drivers with BOTH legs or feet on the dash texting and I have seen a driver having sex while driving down the highway. No Joke. It is mostly the younger ones, they just do not care. To the regular drivers, when I am pulling 40 tons (or 80,000 pounds) behind me it takes a lot longer to stop If you pull out in front of me and I T-bone you, chances are you will die and I will walk away unhurt.
So sad.she lived for a reason. I know so many beautiful young female friends that did not make it. One I was going to marry. We were totally in love as soon as we met. One month later she was gone.
Awsome young lady it's so true so many ppl think it's ok to talk on the phone while, I for one can't stand it, blue tooth should be banned you may not be using your hands , but most certainly distracted from what you are actually doing. Keep up the good work but terribly sorry for your loss.
When I see this I call the police, but they NEVER EVER show up. I followed this woman for 20 miles, she left main highway, I followed advising 911 dispatcher the location. When the headon crash happen right in front of me....the police showed up 3 minutes after the collision but the damage was done. Both were seriously injured., but no fatalities thank God.
Saw this and the other video where Jayce talked one on one with the teens about what happened to her. If these two videos were show in schools it would definitely decrease the amount of people who text and drive. This madness has to end.
3:20 I don't think people like to stare. After all, most people don't enjoy being rude. I think it's a compulsion. One of those things you need to consciously resist doing. Consider the fact that for millions of years our ancestors lived with predators all around. Threats that might (and often did) kill the unwary before they had passed on their genes to the next generation. In most cases the predators were known well enough that their actions could usually be predicted based on what the predator was doing. So long as it wasn't hunting, they aren't a threat. They still had to watch, but they could usually relax. Now bring in something new. Is the new thing dangerous? Watching the new thing closely was the only way this question could be answered. Very often, some new thing WAS dangerous. Those creatures who didn't watch closely enough were killed. On the flip side, something that is watching you closely (staring) might be hunting you, so we feel uneasy when being stared at. In the modern day we no longer really need to worry about such things, but we still feel uncomfortable when stared at, so such behavior is now quite rude. I lost my leg when I was 3 and when I'm not wearing my prosthesis people stare. I finally decided I really didn't care about it. Now I don't even notice the staring. I know they are staring, deep down, but I don't notice it consciously.
And this is why as a driver of a large vehicle you do not swerve to avoid someone that makes an idiot move in front of you. The end result in this case was the deaths of two innocent people with the idiot who caused the accident not suffering a scratch. My father drove a 72 passenger school bus back in the day, and he always told me that if someone pulled an idiot move with another vehicle he would not risk the lives of the children on his bus to avoid the idiot.
So no charges at all were made against a driver who killed two people and badly hurt another ? Cell phone or not that driver killed two people . What kind of justice is that !
This is so sad. Seeing these distracted driving videos has definitely changed how I drive! I think everyone should see these videos whenever they take their driver's license test. People need to change the use of cell phones in their vehicles. I've never been so worried about driving my whole entire life bc this is real and it is still happening 😢 💔 Just yesterday I was at a 4 way stop and seen a police officer goin through the intersection while on his cell phone!!! Now I see everyone on their phones and it worries the crap out of me. Nobody deserves to go through something so tragic and then the pain of losing someone on top of the physical pain u have to endure. IT'S A CHOICE, PPL DON'T HAVE TO BE ON THEIR PHONE'S WHILE DRIVING!!! STOP USING CELL PHONE'S WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING!!! AND IF U DO USE YOUR CELL PHONE'S WHILE DRIVING THEN U SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF.... REALLY! WAKE UP!!! MAKE A DIFFERENCE, SET EXAMPLES RIGHT NOW FOR YOUR CHILDREN AND OTHER PASSENGERS AND SLOW DOWN!!! 💙💜❤️

It's unfortunate that this took place, but it's good that she is serving the public about awareness of the ills of distracted driving.
unfortunate is a little weak no? Its unfortunate i spilt my coffee. Losing both your parents in a car crash would be tragic.
@@khewitthome1436 he is a lawyer it makes sense!!
It doesn't matter how many stories people hear they never listen, people are selfish they drive drunk they drive while on their phone even tho their cars have Bluetooth people are stupid period
She came to my school and touched my heart
Ditto
steve b Good to know you're keeping score.
Josh Wilson I wish she’d come to my daughters’ school!
God bless you Baby! You are truly an inspiration to Us all! Love you Bill!
She is a powerful person who needs to be listened to.
Listen to Junior Brown sing “Hang up and Drive”
Oh this poor girl! I lost both my parents 10 days apart and the pain is unbelievable. But I was 39 and had a very supportive husband. I can't imagine being 18 and having ALL these injuries. God bless her.
When I graduated from hell- i mean high school a classmate of mind got some terrible news. His dad and little sister had gone to another town to pick up both sets of grandparents.
On the way back they were behind a semi truck. Suddenly the truck swerved so dramatically it went off the road completely and crashed through a fence. But it was already too late for a reaction to save them when the reason for the truck's wild maneuver could be seen. My classmates sister, father, grandparents were all killed instantly along with the other driver (who it turned out was drunk). On top of that, the truck driver was absolutely destroyed by guilt. He started drinking, lost his job, and died a few years later, sleeping on the streets.
It pretty much destroyed graduation. The kid was quite popular and an extremely nice person.
I got bullied a lot, and even though I barely knew him, he stuck up for me several times.
God, I haven't thought of him in years. I hope he's doing okay. He'd be 49 or 50 by now. I hope he's doing okay.
Damn man, thx for sharing that story. Its unreal the stuff that happen.
I'm constantly thinking about my parents when they are away driving...so many terrible humans out there, such a sad real story
Eric, I got bullied from ninth grade onwards. It WAS hell. May the deceased rest in peace and rise in glory.
She came to my school Friday. My friend sitting right next to me was crying and I almost cried but this is so inspirational. I’ve been praying for her and her family and she is super cool and funny. Her and her husband are the best in the world. I love you all so much!! So happy you’re alive to share the story with so many so they can be aware of these things.
Are you kidding me?! The guy that was on the cell phone and caused the accident got no charges. Wtf?!
I know a lot of people would disagree with me, but they should hold a new trial and charge the man with the punishment he truly deserves.
He should have been charged with Felony careless and negligent operation of a motor vehicle with death resulting. Period.
@@xXPhIlIeSXx2010
More than that!! Way more!! And you should have been compensated monetarily at the very least!
I’m in Canada you would get a minimum two years
This story is so heartbreaking💔
Jacy, you are inspiring, dedicated and beautiful. I'll pray for you and the repose of your parents' souls.
Jacy deserves a hug.

So sorry about your experience!
I’ve had to completely leave the road because of distracted phone users driving with my wife in the car!
Hang up & drive!
We really need to treat talking on the phone the same as drunk driving. The problem is, everybody does it, including the lawmakers who make the laws.
This cell phone turned out to be a Hell Phone for this young woman and her family...may god bless them all and give them strength always...Amen
You are never going to get rid of Bluetooth. It is way to integrated. But yes, there needs to be a law in all 50 states against any hand held device period. First offence $200 ticket . Second offence $400 ticket. Third offence your licence is suspended for 90 days. PUT THE FUCKING PHONE DOWN AND DRIVE!!!
Marc Field how about this; second offense is a suspended license, third offense, license is shredded and you must take the whole course over again. However, you get a heat-stamped icon on the card indicating that it is the second time the license was acquired.
Butterball3588 Sounds even better.
Marc Field love your comment!!
I agree 1000%. When a person is driving their eyes should be on the road, not on their phone 📱 I was actually rear ended by someone who was looking at his phone while driving, so I can relate. I had no injuries and my car had minimal damage thank God. Some people are killed because they cause an accident or their victims of someone else’s distraction. Fortunately this young lady survived and is raising awareness over this issue. I think there should be severe consequences for distracted drivers. Not just a fine, but that and having their license suspended IMO
You are beautiful !!!
Thank Jesus that you are here. He saved you for a reason.
I agree with you. It's not ok. The 16 yr old that killed my son was distracted as well. She didn't get charged because they deemed it as a accident. I met you at kkad25 in Colorado. You are an inspiration..your story touched my ❤.
I had my hand on the mouse ready to skip to a better video. Glad I continued watching cause this is the best video I have seen in a long time. What a terrific young lady. Talk about taking lemons and making lemonade. God gave you a new purpose. If I lived by her I would take her to dinner. I am a CDL-A holder myself and you would not believe the things I have seen. Cell phone use is just the start.. I have seen drivers with BOTH legs or feet on the dash texting and I have seen a driver having sex while driving down the highway. No Joke. It is mostly the younger ones, they just do not care. To the regular drivers, when I am pulling 40 tons (or 80,000 pounds) behind me it takes a lot longer to stop If you pull out in front of me and I T-bone you, chances are you will die and I will walk away unhurt.
PEOPLE PLEASE put your phones in your glove compartment so your not tempted to use it.
As a senior citizen we lived fine without a cell phone.
Oh my god dude 😩😩
So sad.she lived for a reason. I know so many beautiful young female friends that did not make it. One I was going to marry. We were totally in love as soon as we met. One month later she was gone.
Awsome young lady it's so true so many ppl think it's ok to talk on the phone while, I for one can't stand it, blue tooth should be banned you may not be using your hands , but most certainly distracted from what you are actually doing. Keep up the good work but terribly sorry for your loss.
When I see this I call the police, but they NEVER EVER show up. I followed this woman for 20 miles, she left main highway, I followed advising 911 dispatcher the location. When the headon crash happen right in front of me....the police showed up 3 minutes after the collision but the damage was done. Both were seriously injured., but no fatalities thank God.
Saw this and the other video where Jayce talked one on one with the teens about what happened to her. If these two videos were show in schools it would definitely decrease the amount of people who text and drive. This madness has to end.
3:20 I don't think people like to stare. After all, most people don't enjoy being rude. I think it's a compulsion. One of those things you need to consciously resist doing.
Consider the fact that for millions of years our ancestors lived with predators all around. Threats that might (and often did) kill the unwary before they had passed on their genes to the next generation.
In most cases the predators were known well enough that their actions could usually be predicted based on what the predator was doing. So long as it wasn't hunting, they aren't a threat. They still had to watch, but they could usually relax.
Now bring in something new. Is the new thing dangerous? Watching the new thing closely was the only way this question could be answered.
Very often, some new thing WAS dangerous. Those creatures who didn't watch closely enough were killed.
On the flip side, something that is watching you closely (staring) might be hunting you, so we feel uneasy when being stared at.
In the modern day we no longer really need to worry about such things, but we still feel uncomfortable when stared at, so such behavior is now quite rude.
I lost my leg when I was 3 and when I'm not wearing my prosthesis people stare. I finally decided I really didn't care about it. Now I don't even notice the staring. I know they are staring, deep down, but I don't notice it consciously.
They are staring at you because you are so amazing!! Keep being you, that's plenty good enough!!
And this is why as a driver of a large vehicle you do not swerve to avoid someone that makes an idiot move in front of you. The end result in this case was the deaths of two innocent people with the idiot who caused the accident not suffering a scratch.
My father drove a 72 passenger school bus back in the day, and he always told me that if someone pulled an idiot move with another vehicle he would not risk the lives of the children on his bus to avoid the idiot.
As a member of the trach team I can always spot another member.
I've been hit twice while driving by people on their cell phones. Damage to my car, no injury to me.
So no charges at all were made against a driver who killed two people and badly hurt another ? Cell phone or not that driver killed two people . What kind of justice is that !
This is so sad. Seeing these distracted driving videos has definitely changed how I drive! I think everyone should see these videos whenever they take their driver's license test. People need to change the use of cell phones in their vehicles. I've never been so worried about driving my whole entire life bc this is real and it is still happening 😢 💔
Just yesterday I was at a 4 way stop and seen a police officer goin through the intersection while on his cell phone!!! Now I see everyone on their phones and it worries the crap out of me. Nobody deserves to go through something so tragic and then the pain of losing someone on top of the physical pain u have to endure.
IT'S A CHOICE, PPL DON'T HAVE TO BE ON THEIR PHONE'S WHILE DRIVING!!! STOP USING CELL PHONE'S WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING!!! AND IF U DO USE YOUR CELL PHONE'S WHILE DRIVING THEN U SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF.... REALLY! WAKE UP!!! MAKE A DIFFERENCE, SET EXAMPLES RIGHT NOW FOR YOUR CHILDREN AND OTHER PASSENGERS AND SLOW DOWN!!! 💙💜❤️
I live in Pa. Did not know that. Thats wrong , Wish you the best
Keep it up you have a chance to make it happen. God’s grace saved you to make these changes
