A graphic British public service announcement about the dangers of sending text messages while driving has become an Internet hit and sparked debate around the world.

The 30-minute film shows a bubbly teenager named Cassie who triggers a pileup that kills four people when she tries to send a text message while driving.  The graphic, slow-motion depiction of the crash shows heads going through windshields, bloodied bodies, and the lifeless eyes of a baby.

The video is being discussed around the country as more and more states have banned text messaging while driving.

The police department behind the video mentioned they hoped the film would make text-driving as socially unacceptable as drunk driving.
