A teenager died in an accident seconds after she took off her seatbelt to take a selfie. As a result, her grieving parents are launching a campaign to convince people to keep their belts on at all times.
Kailee Mills, 16, was with three friends in a car near her home in Texas, heading out to a Halloween party last October, when the car crashed and rolled over.
The other three teenagers, who had their seatbelts on, survived. But Kailee, a "happy, bubbly and outgoing" girl, who was in the back seat of the car, didn't make it.
"We know if she had her seatbelt on, she'd still be here," her father, David said.
"We just hope no one else has to deal with this," Mr Mills told Eyewitness News on ABC13.
"It doesn't matter if you're going a mile or 100 miles. Everyone always questions 'Why? Why did this happen?' And we're never going to know the answer to that but we know we can do something positive, and I think that's what she would want us to do."
Kailee has been described as a fun, lively teenager of whom any parent would be proud. She was an honor student with a 4.3 GPA, enjoyed cheerleading and playing volleyball.
