This week was seat belt safety week, and as we've said before, we will be putting up weekly discussion boards on our Facebook page, "Smyrna Drives to Save Lives!". This week, because we focused on seat belts, we posted four questions that group members could reply to and comment about, one of which was whether or not they or a family member or close friend had ever been involved in a car accident and how seat belts were involved. Did the seat belts make a difference and how might the situation have been any different if seat belts were not used? Out of the responses, some of them invloved a recent accident that we will never forget. The above crash ivolved some very close friends and family members of ours. The car rolled one and a half times and none of the people in the car were under the influence or drinking alcohol. All five people were rushed to the hospital...
Luckily, all of them were able to walk out of the hospital that very night. We are all very fortunate, because if they hadn't been wearing their seatbelts, they could have been extremely hurt or worse. They might not even be with us today. This incident is a constant reminder that seatbelts are life savers. Wearing them makes all the difference.
