Sterbentz has a message for area motorists:
“A lot of people textual content while using, and drink and power. How might you sense if you killed somebody if you killed a bicyclist or a pedestrian? You might stay with that for the relaxation of your life. People need to consider that after they get in their automobile,” she said.
