URBANA – Alderman Charlie Smyth says he will propose a ban on cell phone use by drivers in Urbana in the wake of the death last month of Matt Wilhelm, who was hit on a bicycle by a driver using her cell phone.
Smyth said after the accident – and two other local fatalities that involved cell phones – it is time for local government to take action. The ordinance also would apply to two-way pagers and computers.
