Pennsylvania law banning cell phone use while driving now in effect
Whether you're driving or stopped at a light, you can now be pulled over for calling, navigating or even holding your phone. The Paul Miller Law went into effect at midnight on June 5. Miller was killed by a distracted driver at just 21 years old in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Now, 15 years later, after the work of his family, a law to protect others is in place. During the law's first year, drivers will get a written warning. Then in 2026, the violation increases to a $50 fine. This law forces drivers to be off all electronic devices while driving, at a stop sign and even while waiting at a stoplight. If you are touching a device, you can be pulled over.

Family of Butler Eagle employee killed in DUI crash offers forgiveness to driver at plea hearing
The family of a man who was hit and killed by a drunk driver while leaving work at the Butler Eagle is getting justice. Channel 11 was the only TV station in court as the woman police say was behind the wheel faced a judge and accepted a plea deal. 'Jim was a Christian, and after two years, we forgive her. We wish her the best,' the victim's cousin, Mary Jo Burkholder, told Channel 11. On the day Kassandra Clyde pleaded guilty to driving drunk, and hitting and killing Jim Barge, his family wants her to know they forgive her. 'She does have a life ahead of her, and she can make good decisions. She has to start from here, and go on. And make much better decisions than she did before,' Burkholder said. Channel 11 was there as Clyde walked into the courtroom for her plea hearing, where she agreed to three to six years in prison. In May of 2023, Clyde's blood alcohol level was three times the legal limit, yet she decided to drive and crossed the center line on 422 in Franklin Township. She crashed into Barge's car. He died two weeks before he was supposed to retire from the Butler Eagle. 'From a grieving perspective, we've done the grieving. We just needed it to close in the court system. We wished it would have been a little faster,' she said The family tells Channel 11 that the plea hearing was postponed almost a dozen times over the last two years. 'Very, very frustrating with the continuances. We would be ready to have this done, and we would learn of a continuance,' Burkholder said. A judge will officially sentence Clyde in August, and she will find out exactly how much time she will serve in prison. 'We all make mistakes, and sometimes we make really bad mistakes, and we can be forgiven for them,' she said. According to court records, Clyde was arrested for a DUI prior to the crash, but completed a program to get the charge expunged. Download the FREE WPXI News app for breaking news alerts.
