Wearing seat belts is so important.
Last fall leaving Florida for Tennessee, we were driving north on the 75 when I saw a vehicle kicking up dust on the southbound side. A Chevy Trailblazer was losing control and veered sharply towards the center guard rail.
Just before he hit it, the sharp angle and speed that he was going caused the woman in the backseat to fly through the passenger back door window. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. She landed on the pavement, all of the other family members jumped out including two small kids, one less the 1 yr. old.
People ran over to help the lady on the pavement. She never moved while I was there. We had pulled off on our side to see what we could do to help. The engine on the Chevy started smoking and catching fire. I ran back to the motorhome to get our fire extinguisher (the one behind the passenger seat).
I ran over to the burning vehicle and started spraying the engine compartment where the hood was buckled. It was like putting drops of water on an inferno.... those small extinguishers are for very small fires and was empty in no time.
I looked on the internet for the local news in that area and never saw anything on the accident.
PLEASE WEAR YOUR SEAT BELTS!
Safe travels,
