ST. PAUL (KFGO-AM) -- The Minnesota State Patrol is hoping a powerful video will get drivers to put down their phones and pay attention.

The video features Matt Boeve, who lost his wife Andrea, and twenty-seven-year-old Christopher Weber, the man who struck and killed her.  The crash happened last summer in southwestern Minnesota's Rock County.

Weber said he had been calling his bank to make a loan payment and only looked at his phone for a split second. He said he didn't see Boeve riding her bike, pulling her two daughters in a bike trailer. The girls survived.

Weber pleaded guilty to criminal vehicular homicide. He recently finished a six-month jail sentence and will serve three more months next year and three more in 2017.
