Safety Tips for the Season of Road Trips

by Administrator 14. July 2010 01:56

ABC's Good Morning America reports that summer is the time of roadtrips, and, while most of us are aware of the dangers in the car, there is one area that we always overlook. George Clark of Wisconsin learned this lesson the hard way.

Clark was coming back from a Boyscout Leader retreat when a car pulled in front of them. Their vehicle hit the car while traveling 50 miles an hour when, "the untethered child booster seat next to Clark slammed into his head, crushing his cheekbone and jaw," reports Good Morning America. After multiple reconstructive surgeries, Clark is ok but wants to warn others of the dangers of unsecured items in the car.

Good Morning America writes that anything that is not secured can become a projectile in a crash scenario. The faster your car is driving, the more force the projectile will have when it hits you. When you pack for your next roadtrip, make sure you secure all items. It's best to just store all your travel belongings in the trunk. Good Morning America reports, "At 55 miles per hour, a 20-pound object hits with 1,000 pounds of force -- so powerful that a suitcase can literally sever the arm of a crash test dummy." It's best not to take any chances.

WHBL reports that, "The Sheboygan County Sheriff’s Department is continuing its investigation of how the fatal boating accident in Lake Michigan was handled on Friday after some confusion resulted in a delay in finding the overturned craft."

When the call was received there was some concern as to whose jurisdiction it fell under causing a short delay in emergency response.

CBS 5 reported that a 20-foot boat capsized in Lake Michigan. The three passengers were able to be removed from the water by the Coast Guard, but one was pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital. He had reportedly suffered from a stress-induced heart attack. The other two passengers declined medical attention.
