What really got my attention was those innocent lives were from Union, Missouri and I knew two out of the five of them, three out of the five died. Their names were Jim Curran, Isaac Clark, Lucas Shulze, Cole Weddle, and Derek King. I knew Isaac and Jim; Isaac had his seatbelt on and survived but was in critical condition but Jim

     States across the nation have seat belt laws in place that make it a requirement for drivers and passengers in vehicles that are being operated on public streets to wear some sort of safety belt. In 1998, 41,471 people were killed in 6,334,000 reported motor vehicle accidents in the United States.

According to the CDC, “Seat belt use is on the rise. Laws, education, and technology have increased seat belt use from 11% in 1981 to nearly 85% in 2010, saving hundreds of thousands of lives” (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Injury Prevention and Control).

He smoothed a stray curl away from Gwen’s sweaty forehead. She was burning up. “Arthur, Gwen, good to see you.” Dr. Monmouth stepped into the room and washed his hands. He took a seat on his rolling stool and slid right up to Gwen. As he did this, Mrs. Monmouth entered and started taking vitals. “Temperature of 102.4 and BP

Rosa Louise McCauley Parks was an African-American civil rights activist whom the U.S. Congress dubbed the "Mother of the Modern-Day Civil Rights Movement". Parks is famous for her refusal on December 1, 1955, to obey a bus driver's demand that she give up her seat to a white passenger.

It happened to a son, who was once energetic but is now constrained to a wheelchair. His mother always listening to the rhythmic mechanical sounds of his breathing machine, for if it fails he will only have moments before suffocation. An Amish family launched into a ditch, killed upon impact, and a father crushed to death early one morning on his way to work – it happened to them too.
