Danger on the Road

Vehicle accidents have devastating effects on all parties involved in it, especially the injured victims. It becomes even more dangerous when the gas tank is hit and damaged, which could trigger an explosion or the vehicle to burst into flames.

This happened exactly in San Diego, California where a man died and two other victims were injured when the vehicle ignited after another vehicle rammed its back. Investigators are still trying to determine the cause of the car accident.

Reckless driving often results to serious and fatal car accidents. Sometimes, accidents are caused by people who drive in excessive speeds to reach their destinations immediately. Others make stupid decisions by driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Car accidents can happen all the time. Safety is the key to avoid it. He should use his seatbelt when he is driving. He should drive slower when the road is wet or there is ice. He should also take note of potholes or road bumps.
