Police: Scarsdale Teen Gets into Accident While Texting

A 17-year-old Scarsdale girl hit a telephone pole on Post Road while texting and driving, according to police. Investigators say the teen lost control of her vehicle, then ran into a pole. The impact from the crash was so great that the car's airbag inflated. 

ConEd had to be called to the scene to fix the telephone pole that the 17-year-old had hit. Police say the girl told them that she went to look down at a text message on her phone before the crash. 

The unidentified Scarsdale teen was not hurt in the accident, according to authorities. Her vehicle had to be towed away from the crash site. The accident happened at 1 a.m. on July 19.
