FRANKFORT, Ky. (WKYT) — A Kentucky mother testified before lawmakers, pushing for a hands-free driving law after her toddler daughter died when police say a distracted driver crashed into them.

Alyssa Burns came to Frankfort and told lawmakers about her daughter, Camberleigh, who died when the car they were in was rear-ended. Police told her the other driver was speeding and was distracted.

“If you’re not making the right decisions you can kill someone. That’s all I want from her story,” Burns said.

Burns wants the law to be named for her daughter and said the driver who hit them only faced a speeding ticket.

“I just ask that you help me continuing to help making our roads safer because my daughter deserves to be here,” Burns said.
