Recently we lost yet another life on our roadways. A 29 year old mother with her 3 year old daughter in the backseat rolled her minivan on the Interstate in NY after swerving into the median and then overcorrecting. Mom didn’t survive. Her child was airlifted to a local hospital with head injuries after being ejected from the vehicle (no mention of child restraint usage or non-usage). Investigators believe the driver may have been texting just before the crash.
Makes you wonder what it takes to get through to people, doesn’t it? And, as the above story illustrates, this isn’t just a problem with teenagers. Many mature adults are just as guilty. So why do people insist on continuing this incredible risky behavior even though they know better?
