Today we learned that a family friend was in a serious accident when another driver ran a red light and hit our friend. Our friend was in a hospital for weeks, he lost wages, and his car was totaled.
We’re guessing that when the other driver ran a red light, it wasn’t the first time he went through a red light. We’re guessing that it wasn’t his second time either.
Perhaps it had become a habit to try to always beat the light to save a few minutes or maybe just save a few seconds.
We see a lot of people running red lights. Please don’t let running red lights become a habit. Our friend was almost killed—the other driver and his passenger WERE killed.
