A female driver fl ipped her vehicle Saturday, Dec. 19, in the 10600 block of Kirkvale. The driver told Precinct 2 deputies she was looking down at the car radio when she became distracted and struck two parked cars, caus- ing her car to overturn. At press time, deputies were checking the driver’s phone records to see if she was actually texting at the time of the crash. Such information is then passed on to state offi cials. The driver was issued a cita- tion for failure to control speed. No one was injured. Photo by Cody Giles Moore Student Council toy drive
