More on Miss Deaf Texas:
The reigning Miss Deaf Texas who was killed by a train was text messaging her parents and friends on her cell phone as she walked near the tracks and might have been distracted, police said.

Tara McAvoy, 18, was walking about a foot away from Union Pacific railroad tracks. She had typed a message to her parents, both of whom are hearing-impaired, letting them know she was walking along the tracks from home to her mother's workplace on Monday.
First off, this is still a horrible, senseless tragedy. But (there's always a but), there's something to be said for putting down the phone and concentrating on what you're doing, deaf or not.
