CNN.com International Edition: "Texting driver charged in death"

Main headline in the sidebar of http://edition.cnn.com
Full link here.
It's good that news is getting around at least. Interestingly, it's not on the main U.S. edition webpage. Crux of the text is this:
HIGHLANDS RANCH, Colorado (AP) -- A teenager who allegedly hit a cyclist while driving and text messaging was charged with a misdemeanor, authorities said.

The 17-year-old was charged with careless driving causing death, the Douglas County Sheriff's Office said. The charge carries a maximum sentence of one year in prison.
