Teen Killed in Doug, CO Crash

The article, Teen killed in Doug, CO crash, posted in The Denver Post, informs us about a tragic accident that happened early Saturday morning about a teenager getting killed in a car wreck. The 17-year old, his name not yet released, lost control of the car and hit a traffic pole. The teenager was not wearing a seat belt, and drugs and alcohol might have been a factor in the accident. Personally, after reading this article it made me think about several things. We hear about car accidents all the time, but I took a different reaction after reading about this accident. I’m not positive why, but I think it might have to do with me starting to learn how to drive in the next few months. This makes me think about the importance of wearing a seatbelt. Ever since I was little I knew the rule, “always wear seatbelt when in the car” my mom used to say. Now that I’m older I am almost scared that I’m soon going to be on the roads. My biggest fear will be getting in an accident, and the biggest thing I could do for myself to keep me safe is to wear a seatbelt.
