BATTLE GROUND, Wash. — A 17-year-old girl is facing criminal charges after admitting to texting and using FaceTime and Snapchat – all while driving her car.
Talk about multi-tasking.

The girl’s car spun clockwise, rolling to a stop on its top in the northbound lanes.
According to the State Patrol, the vehicle in front of her was trying to turn into a driveway when the driver saw the car behind her approaching at a high rate of speed.
