Never mind driving -- maybe we need a law against walking while using a headset:
LAKE STATION, Ind. (AP) - Police say a freight train hit a 16-year-old Lake Station boy, hurling him 70 feet.
[. . .]
He says Nathan Furlong was walking along the train tracks when he was hit about 2 p.m. Furlong is a sophomore at Edison High School.
Stills says the CSX train hit Furlong "square on." He says the teen apparently was wearing a stereo headset and may not have heard the train approaching behind him at about 37 mph.
I believe there already is a law about walking on the railroad tracks. And his real misdeed -- a teenager behaving like a teenager -- is beyond the law's reach.
