On a sad note-- Yesterday morning I heard news that a friend and beautician who cuts my hair had been killed in a car wreck. Normally I wouldn't post an article about something of this nature, but in spite of the tragedy and loss to her family, there is a valuable lesson for drivers which should be passed along.
She,her Mother, and 16 year old daughter were returning from a shopping trip. On a busy interstate, a cardboard box they were transporting in the back of their truck, blew out of the truck and onto the highway. Instinctively, she pulled into the emergency lane, and attempted to back up to retrieve it and was hit by an SUV. She and her Mother both died and the Daughter went through three surgeries in a day to try and keep a nearly severed arm.
The point I am making is--I have seen so many people attempt to back up on an interstate when they've missed an exit or for some other reason. Better to drive several miles out of your way than to be in a predicament such as this. Summer's finally here and there will be a lot of traveling. PLEASE Drive safely.
I am sorry for your loss. I work for a State Hwy Dept that has a Interstate system and I see all the time. My prayers are with you and the friends and family.
I am truly sorry. Drivers sometimes forget how fast an accident can happen. A lot of my friends are riding motorcycles now(Baby Boomers) so please remember they can not stop as fast as you can in a car.So PLEASE WATCH for BIKERS this summer.THANK YOU!!
i am truely sorry for your loss. thank you for the good advice. you can't be too careful these days, it only takes a second for an accident like this to happen. their families will be in my prayers.
