BATON ROUGE - April is National Distracted Driving Awareness Month, and on Tuesday, towing company AAA showed what can happen when you or a loved one drives without their full focus on the road. 

2une In's Abigail Whitam spoke with officials Tuesday at a demonstration and Wednesday morning taking a closer look at a car involved in a crash caused by distracted driving. 

AAA says 24% of fatal crashes in Louisiana are caused by distracted driving. Between 2020 and 2024, almost 900 lives were lost in those crashes. 

"When we work closely through our collaborative effort, it shows and demonstrates that we're prepared to take care of any emergency they may have in the community," Trisha Guidry with Baton Rouge General said.
