There is something quite harrowing about this photo of a kid’s cellphone, showing the conversation he was having via text, as well as the unfinished text he was writing before he crashed his car and died. Click through to see.

Alexander Heit, a University of Northern Colorado student from Boulder, passed away earlier this month from injuries he sustained after losing control of his car and flipping over while driving through Greeley.

He was texting at the time.

In his memory, Heit’s parents have published a photo in the Greeley Tribune showing the 22-year-old’s last, unsent text, which he was typing just before the accident.
