Chaotic Road Crash

Paying special attention on the road has always been a driver’s everyday challenge. As distractions and other conditions are present, having a safe trip could sometimes be a dilemma.

Sometimes, accidents get in our way causing fatal injuries just like what happened to the drivers of Ryder moving truck and 2006 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck.

Solomon Henderson was driving his moving truck on eastern bound of Interstate 8 when he was cut off by a Nissan Sentra. Consequently, the truck veered across westbound lanes and smashed into a pick up truck.

The drivers of the moving truck and the pick up truck died instantaneously while the driver of the Nissan Sentra fled from the accident scene.

We share the streets with other drivers; some are negligent while others are notorious in driving. It would be advisable to exercise the highest standard of care.

The deceased drivers may have exercised all necessary caution but unluckily they shared the road with another driver – a reckless one.

As Henderson failed to wear his seatbelt, let this incident be a constant reminder for all us. Who knows he may have survived if he just wore it. Seatbelts are additional protection for drivers and passengers. It must be worn at all times.
