Nobody wakes up in the morning and says, “I’m going to get into a crash today.” Car crashes can happen at any time and anywhere. Most occur on familiar roads and obviously, when you least expect it.
Today’s video reinforces that it just takes a few seconds to look away at the right time and at the right moment to change the day. All of the people in the video were just going about their typical, peaceful and uneventful day and commute until a distraction changed how the day would end. https://youtu.be/OVnRcIXEqaU
The fatality count of 153 is an increase of six from last Monday. To see statistics published daily by the Office of Driver Services, go to http://www.iowadot.gov/mvd/stats/daily.pdf.
