Ramsey County prosecutors say the Fridley resident was preoccupied with her cell phone while transporting St. Paul students, the Star Tribune reported.
A Fridley woman who works as a school bus driver is facing charges in Ramsey County for texting while operating a bus with students aboard, the Star Tribune reported Thursday.

Last week, the National Transportation Safety Board recommended a nation-wide ban on cell phone use while driving. The recommendation stems from an investigation into a 2010 crash in Missouri that resulted in a four-way pile up between two full school buses, a tractor trailer and a pickup truck that killed two people. The NTSB faulted the pickup driver, who was allegedly texting shortly before the accident. It is already illegal to text and drive in Minnesota. Critics of the NTSB proposal have called it "hysterical" and "unenforceable." An editorial in USA Today compared it to the 18th Amendment, which put the kibosh on booze from 1919 to 1933.
