Woman’s speech on  distracted driving brings high school students to tears

OXFORD – “I felt so bad. I felt like crying. I did cry. I felt like I did it to her,” said a young male student as he left the assembly in the Oxford High School following Jacy Good’s presentation.

Jacy Good graduated college at 10 a.m. on May 18, 2008 and had her life planned. She was going to work for Habitat for Humanity and move to New York and live with her boyfriend. She was 21 years old.

Driving home took approximately an hour and a half, according to Good. She rode with her mother and father, and once they reached the halfway mark to home, they stopped at a gas station.

“Stopping at that gas station is the last memory I had for the next two months,” said Good at the presentation in Oxford on Thursday.

Good’s husband, Steve Johnson, said he had received a phone call that day from Good’s phone. “But it wasn’t her,” he said. Johnson explained to the students and others in attendance that the woman on the other line was from a hospital, and she told him there had been an accident.

Johnson explained that he was told to await a phone call in two hours, but more than three hours passed and he hadn’t received a call.
