The opinion of the court was delivered by
ASHRAFI, J.A.D.
Plaintiffs Linda and David Kubert were grievously injured by an eighteen-year-old driver who was texting while driving and crossed the center-line of the road. Their claims for compensation from the young driver have been settled and are no longer part of this lawsuit. Plaintiffs appeal the trial court’s dismissal of their claims against the driver’s seventeen-year-old friend who was texting the driver much of the day and sent a text message to him immediately before the accident.
