No matter how many times we hear a life lesson, there are some that need to be reinforced constantly. Important lessons that are frequently missed in day-to-day life include treating everyone equally, making sure kids receive a good education, and, most importantly, refraining from distracted driving.
We frequently drive, but even a brief moment of distraction can have disastrous results. Distracted driving continues to be a leading cause of collisions in spite of multiple warnings.After sharing a joyful Facebook post, 32-year-old Courtney Sanford tragically died in an avoidable accident in 2014. Her vehicle swerved across the highway and collided with a recycling truck a short while later. She was instantly killed when her car caught fire.
Although authorities affirmed that no drugs or alcohol were used, they stressed that this tragedy should serve as a warning about the risks associated with distracted driving. “A life was over in a matter of seconds just so she could let some friends know that she was happy,” said Lt. Chris Weisner. It isn’t worth it at all.
