Distracted driving: Family seeks changes in Wisconsin law after crash that killed 2

After losing two loved ones in a crash, a Marinette County family is turning their grief into action. They're not only looking to educate, but also legislate. For the Kust family, it was at the intersection of County Highways B and W where their lives changed forever. That's where their matriarch, Mary Anne Kust, and her daughter-in-law, Elysia Kust, were killed in a crash while driving to get groceries. The Marinette County Sheriff's Office said the Kusts were heading east on Highway B when they were hit by a driver traveling south on Highway W. The driver, who admitted to running the stop sign after reaching down to grab his phone, was eventually charged with two counts of homicide by negligent operation of a vehicle. Just last week, a jury found him not guilty. Even before the verdict, the Kust family felt called to action -- starting with education about the dangers of distracted driving, especially cellphone use. And if the loss of their loved ones wasn't hard enough, the family is s also dealing with legal and insurance issues. With the help of State Rep. Jeff Mursau of Crivitz, the Kust family is working to create new legislation -- not only with regard to distracted driving and its penalties, but also on issues of insurance, restitution and potential civil claims for similar situations. The family of Mary Ann and Elysia Kust know they and their loved ones are making a difference.
