A college student from Texas is lucky to be alive after he crashed his truck in Alabama.

He was texting and driving when his truck flew off of a bridge.

Right before his truck plunged off of the bridge and into a ravine, he texted to a friend: "I need to quit texting, because I could die in a car accident."

After the crash, the student had a broken neck, a crushed face, a fractured skull, and traumatic brain injuries. Doctors had to bring him back to life three times.

Now, he’s speaking out against texting and driving.

His dad has a message to parents with teens who are driving: “disable texting and Internet on their phone.”
