Auto enthusiast or not, most Americans still rely heavily upon roadways to perform necessary day-to-day activities. We’re lucky to escape the occasional reminder of risks. When accidents do happen, it can potentially be lifesaving to learn from them by looking at bad habits that have crept into personal practices, and replace them with methods that keep us and others safe on the road. A particularly poignant example occurred along the I-5 in Glendale, California, this morning.
In this incidence, Highway Patrol officers arrived to find a 20-year-old man catapulted from his vehicle, and resting upon an overhead off-ramp sign. Moving at high speeds, the vehicle collided with another vehicle carrying three individuals, and rolled over. Unbuckled, the driver ejected from the vehicle and onto the tall sign. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Thankfully the passengers of the second vehicle were unhurt. Our condolences and best wishes to the victim and his family.
Remember:
Buckle up
Honor traffic laws
No texting and driving
Drive defensively & courteously
Be safe
