Wear Your Seat Belts


This story from today's Washington Post is pretty self-explanatory when it comes to wearing a safety belt:


"In the second crash, Hannah Leigh Boyd, 19, of Burford, Ga., died after being ejected from a car that went out of control on Breaemar Parkway near Garlock Way about 3 a.m. yesterday.


The car hit some tree and ejected Boyd and two others. One, a 20-year-old Bristow man, was hospitalized with injuries regarded as life-threatening. The driver, an 18-year-old woman, was also ejected and was treated at a hospital for minor injuries, police said.


Police said the three were not wearing seat belts. A fourth occupant, who wore a seat belt, remained in the vehicle and was not injured, police said."


Wear you seat belts, and teach your teens to wear theirs.

I knew both of the girls in this accident. I have known Hannah since she was 5 years old, a beautiful young lady. This tragedy has affected many people and Hannah will FOREVER be missed.

The other two people that were ejected and not wearing their seatbelts were not injured. The one who remained in the car wearing his seatbelt was air lifted with life threatening injuries.
