Cell phone ban urged for drivers across the country

Posted on December 15th, 2011 No Comments

On Tuesday, the National Highway Traffic Safety Board released a proposal for a nationwide ban on all cell phone use while driving.

This proposal came after a tragic car accident in August 2010 in Gray Summit, MO that left two dead and injured 38 others. The driver of the pickup truck that caused the accident was a 19 year old who sent 11 text messages in 11 minutes before the incident.

According to Chairwoman Deborah A.P. Hersman of the NHTSB, “More than 3,000 people lost their lives last year in distraction-related accidents…no call, no text, no update, is worth a human life.”

San Antonio, in addition to Austin, El Paso, and Arlington, banned texting while driving in October of 2010. Though the NHTSB cannot actually pass any laws banning cell phone use, this proposal sends a very clear and strong message to legislatures that are responsible for changing such laws.

Posted on August 31st, 2011 No Comments

A bus carrying five passengers crashed into a parked SUV on Tuesday night, injuring two.

According to a San Antonio police detective, the VIA Metropolitan Transit bus was traveling north on Flores Street around 9:45 pm when it crashed into a parked GMC Suburban. The collision caused the Suburban to slam into a pole before being dragged into a grassy area.

Out of the five passengers on the bus, two were taken to Metropolitan Methodist Hospital for treatment of minor injuries. A woman passenger hit her mouth against a pole in the bus, and a man bruised his chest when he hit a support post during the crash. The driver did not sustain any injuries.

The bus driver did not appear drowsy or intoxicated, and it is believed that the accidental crash occurred due to the dark color of the vehicle and bad lighting conditions.
