TRAGIC DEATH ON I-4, DECEASED NOT WEARING HER SEATBELT
On Sunday in Lakeland a truck was spotted driving erratically down the interstate. According to the Florida Highway Patrol the truck was involved in two minor crashes before getting onto I-4 and swiping another car while the truck was passing vehicles in the emergency lane. The truck then went airborne, flipped over three times and stopped.The female driver of the truck was ejected and died. She was not wearing her seatbelt and was seen talking on a cell phone while driving erratically. The facts involving the woman’s driving are still being discovered, but time and again it has been proven that wearing seat belts saves lives.
This tragic death may have been averted if the seatbelt had been worn. It can also be said that the erratic driving, coupled with attention diversion caused by the cell phone, were large contributors to this scene. As always, we urge drivers to wear their seat belts, pay attention to the road and give yourself plenty of time to get to where you are going. The alternative can be fatal.
