Victims Of Car Crash Sue Apple For Distracting Driver because he was FaceTiming on a Apple phone while driving



Couple lost their daughter Moriah, after a driver using FaceTime on a Apple phone crashed into their car


The couple is now suing  Apple after the death of their young daughter, who died in a car crash allegedly caused by a driver who was using FaceTime behind the wheel


The family said the tech giant should have implemented software it patented in 2008 which would have prevented the app being used by a driver


Five-year-old Moriah Modisette was travelling in the back of her parent’s car near Dallas in 2014 when it was hit at 65 mph by Garrett Willhelm, 22, who was using the Apple app while driving, police said.

Wilhelm - whose FaceTime app was still active when officers arrived on the scene - faces a manslaughter charge for the crash


But the Modisettes claim that Apple's product was also a 'substantial factor in causing the plaintiffs' injuries and decedent's death.'
