"Authorities say the 37-year-old truck driver was distracted while looking down at his GPS when he ran through the light, which was flashing red."
The deceased was 15 years old, the mother has life-threatening injuries, and a 22-month-old is seriously injured.
Keep your eyes on the road, folks.

:( indeed. I never enter an intersection without scanning left and right first, especially if it's a green light for me. If the truck had a flashing red, the victim would have had a flashing yellow. Sounds like she just blew through it. Most of these feeders are 55 mph, so even had she seen it coming she may not have been able to react in time. Austin just instituted a ban on hand held devices, but I think mounted GPS units are exempt.

I need to start doing that too
I am careful to not blast off the line when I'm parked at a red and get the green because I know I can get t boned. I do look in that case before going.
But I'm not checking when I enter an intersection that has the green

It's a good habit to get into. The other thing that scares me is when I'm passing a line of stopped cars in the right lane. I almost crushed a motorcycle one when he pulled out of line into the left lane. Scared the hell out of both of us.
