Local Officials Promoting Motorcycle Safety

Posted on Monday, May 18th, 2009 at 6:00 am    

Following a fatal motorcycle accident that took place in late April.

Local officials have been promoting safety on the road for motorcycle riders and individuals who ride in cars.  For the individuals riding motorcycles,  the officials are trying to promote the use of helmets at all times.  The use of motorcycles without helmets can be very dangerous.  Slow speed accidents can turn fatal.  Officials are also hoping that motorcycle riders will drive slower and follow posted speed limits.  For people in cars and other vehicles,  officials are encouraging them to check their blind spots for motorcycle riders.  Further, officials are asking them to be cautions when driving around motorcycles.

If these steps are taken, the roads should become safer for motorcycle riders and other drivers.

Posted on Wednesday, May 13th, 2009 at 4:29 am    

The family of a marching band assistant who was killed nearly four years ago in a school bus accident has settled with Whole Foods. 

The suit is from an incident that took place on October 16th, 2005.   In the accident,  the bus driver, a band director, the man's wife, and their granddaughter were killed.

The crash was caused from a collision between the bus and an overturned Whole Foods semi-truck that had flipped after losing control.  The family accused Whole Foods of allowing the semi-truck driver to be on the road when the man was suffering from exhaustion and fatigue, which likely caused the semi-truck to flip to flip in the road.
