Cellphone Crackdown

Law enforcement agencies across Minnesota will be conducting a one-day crackdown on motorists who use a cellphone or text while driving today.

It will be part of "Distraction Free Driving Day."

The department's Office of Traffic Safety also is launching a print and radio campaign to educate drivers about Minnesota's two-year-old law banning texting while driving.

Officials say driver distraction is a leading factor in crashes in Minnesota.
