A 20-year-old Abington woman driving and talking on her cellphone died yesterday after her car plowed through the front of a Cingular Wireless store in West Bridgewater, police said.
The store on Route 106 was closed at the time of the 1 a.m. crash.
Bethaney Lawton was at the wheel of her silver 1999 Mercury Cougar chatting with pal Jessica Poor when she blurted out that she was about to be in an accident.
"Jessica heard a loud crash and the cellphone went dead,'' West Bridgewater officer Daniel Desmond said.
Lawton, who was in training to be an EMT, had minutes earlier dropped off another friend, Shauna O'Neal, at her home in East Bridgewater.
