Rollover Accident in California Township
An 18 year-old woman lost control of her car on Fremont Road near the Michigan-Indiana state line, hitting a tree stump causing her car to flip over on Saturday, January 29th at 3:30 p.m. Police say the crash was caused by snowy road conditions. The driver sustained minor injuries, however, the other passengers were rushed to the hospital with serious injuries. No one was wearing seatbelts at the time of the California Township rollover accident.
Seat belts are the single most effective traffic safety device for preventing death and injury, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Wearing a seat belt can reduce the risk of crash injuries by 50 percent. Forty-two percent of passenger vehicle occupants killed in 2007 were unbelted. A 2009 NHTSA study estimates more than 1,600 lives could be saved and 22,000 injuries prevented if seat belt use was 90 percent in every state.
I am very sorry to hear about this accident. I hope the injured victims have a fast recovery without any permanent damages. (more…)
