EYEWITNESS NEWS (WBRE/WYOU) — A Scranton mom vowed to make the roads safer when her son was tragically killed by a distracted driver.
After more than a decade of fighting for change, it will soon be illegal to use a hand-held device while driving in Pennsylvania.
This story is both heartbreaking and inspirational.
This mother has never given up on a promise made to her son after his untimely passing.
Eileen Miller says she's a mom on a mission, not a politician.
Her son, Paul Miller Jr., was killed by a distracted driver in Monroe County on July 5, 2010.
"You know, I went to his head, and I whispered in his ear that when I found out what had caused that crash and how it had happened, that I would fight for change, and I would fight for better laws," Eileen said.

Brown’s Legislation to Curb Distracted Driving in Pennsylvania Headed to the Governor
“This was a long battle to put the safety of Pennsylvanians first, but it is a battle worth winning.”
HARRISBURG – The Pennsylvania State Legislature approved legislation to prohibit the use of handheld cellular and other devices while driving, an initiative long championed by Sen. Rosemary Brown (R-40).
“After more than a decade of relentless work to enact this legislation, the passage of Senate Bill 37 marks a monumental victory for Pennsylvania,” said Brown. “As this bill heads to the governor’s desk, I am filled with gratitude for those who helped us get this far, and I know this measure will protect drivers, prevent crashes and save lives. This bill is more than legislation – it is a reminder of the power of perseverance and the impact we can have when we prioritize public safety.”
