Family Raises Distracted Driving Awareness

A devastated family is trying to raise awareness about the consequences of distracted driving.
Last week a man they say was distracted hit their pregnant loved one head on in Gloucester County. Now both she and her baby are dead.
That family spoke to our Karen Hepp on Wednesday night.
Toni Bolis, 28, was nine months pregnant. At the joint funeral for her, and little Ryan Jeffrey, he looked like a doll in his christening outfit.
About 4,000 people came. This Friday, many of them will wear green, in Toni's memory and spread awareness about the dangers of distracted driving.
Bolis the oldest of 3 girls, was the heart of her family. She was a beautiful bride, a wonderful friend, a loving wife, and a doting mother.
She was so excited to meet her 2nd child and he was due next week for father's day.
But, as she left her last doctor’s appointment last Wednesday, and was almost home, a driver crossed into her lane on Pitman Downer Road, and slammed into her head on, killing both her, and her little son.
When her sisters got to the scene, they say, the 21 year old diver told them he was on his GPS.
Right now, the prosecutors’ office, and police department are gathering records and investigating, but no charges have been filed.
