Arizona House committee to consider statewide texting and driving ban

PHOENIX (FOX 10) - Arizona lawmakers continue to push for a statewide texting and driving ban and the issue will once again be discussed at the state capitol. The recent jolt of energy for this issue came almost three months ago after Salt River Police Officer Clayton Townsend was struck and killed by a driver who told authorities he crossed four lanes of traffic because he was texting and not paying attention.
