Authorities are indicating that records show a 16-year-old girl who died in a fatal car crash was texting on her phone moments before impact.

Kayla Preuss, of Highland, was driving on the Interstate 10 Freeway in Redlands when she lost control of her car and crashed. She died of head injuries.

Authorities say Preuss had been driving drunk and was speeding. But another factor may have contributed to the crash.

Phone records show Preuss was texting just before the accident. Her cell phone, which was flipped open, was found resting on the floorboard by her feet.

A teenager has been arrested in California and charged with throwing sulfuric acid on a woman in Chicago’s Logan Square neighborhood. Where does a teen acquire sulfuric acid?? The internet?

Picking a woman at random to rob in the early-morning hours of July 28, a 16-year-old girl walked up to a woman in Logan Square, threw sulfuric acid in her face and stole her purse, Chicago police said Sunday.

The teen was arrested near Stockton, Calif., where she has relatives, and was charged with armed robbery and heinous battery.

Her name was not released Sunday at a news conference led by Police Cmdr. Joseph Salemme because she is a juvenile, but police said the charges may be moved to adult court.

A second teenage girl is sought as an accomplice, police said.

Our hope is that somehow it turns out there was an innocuous way the STD was contracted.

A 2-year-old child brought to a hospital for treatment was found to have an STD, according to a police report. Police are not releasing the type of STD or any additional information pending further investigation.

“It’s something a 2-year-old should in no way be exposed to,” said Lt. David Young, spokesman for Lufkin Police Department.
