Tune
in this morning, Friday, May 4, at 8:15am to NBCʼs The TODAY Show for
an excellent segment about the dangers of blind zones behind vehicles.
The information they are airing will inform millions of viewers
about the dangers we all face when backing our vehicles and will show
solutions so we do not have to continue to back up blind.
April
has been just an unimaginable month regarding the number of fatal
backovers. We have documented at least 16 fatalities. (Four precious
children lost their lives every week in April due to being backed
over.) There were also 6 frontovers and one infant who perished when a
vehicle was knocked into gear due to the lack of the brake shift
interlock feature. In over 70% of these incidents, it was a direct
relative of that child behind the wheel. These families are
experiencing unbelievable grief and loss. Our prayers and thoughts go
out to them.
