   When she was just 17 years old,Liz crashed into the back of a truck that was waiting to turn in a left-turn lane(车道). The crash is a life-changing one for her. Because of the crash,she's blind in one eye,loses her sense of smell,loses some of her hearing,loses the ability to create tears,and she cannot fall asleep naturally.

“Initially,I thought I would not be defeated but clearly I was completely wrong. Apart from the medical problems,the hardest part about my life after the car accident was the fact that I was alone,”Liz said.“Everyone was away at college,but I wasn't. I couldn't drive or go to college. My friends who used to hang around with me were there for me at first,but after a while they stopped coming by.”

“I viewed her Facebook page,and she said on there: Can anybody please hang out with me today?I don't have any friends,”recalled Liz's mother,Betty.

In time, Liz and her mother teamed up with the US Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to make a video. They wanted to get the point across that texting and driving can have life-transforming consequences.

In the video Liz appealed to drivers not to text when driving. She admitted she was checking and sending messages via her phone when she crashed her car into the back of the truck.

“Don't text your loved ones when you know they' re driving,”said Liz's mother.“It can change their lives forever.”

“If you get a text, don't look at it,”Liz said.“It's not worth it.”
