Every traffic collision is unfortunate. But a collision that results in death and multiple injuries is really tragic.
In a most unfortunate wreck this week, an uncle was killed, four children were injured, one seriously, and another driver had minor injuries when two vehicles collided head-on on Hunter Road near Ooltewah.
The children, 3 to 16 years old, suffered varied injuries.
Many thousands of us are on the move in traffic every day. Each tragedy should remind us – as drivers, passengers and pedestrians – to take special precautions every minute we are on the streets and highways to minimize the constant dangers.
