Epidemic

_{On May 16^th, 2006, Torri Wightman died in a daytime car}

_{accident as a result of wet roads, speed, and hydroplaning.}_{If the girl driving Torri’s car had taken an advanced driving course, t}_{here is a 95% chance Torri would be alive today.}

_{Unintentional injuries account for more teenage deaths (ages 15 to 20) than all other categories combined (murder, suicide, birth defects, cancer, heart disease and asthma)!! Within that category itself, motor vehicle accidents account for 6,367 deaths in the 2004 NCIPC report, followed by 870 by poisoning, 371 by drowning, 169 by transport other than automobile, 132 by falling, 105 by firearm, 81 by suffocation, 80 by fire, and 79 not specified. In fact, unintentional injury (of which the highest percentage are motor vehicle accidents) totals approximately 47,000 through the age of 44, when cancer then predominates.}

_{This kind of teenage death is epidemic according to the statistics.}

_{Several months ago, with funds from Torri’s Memorial Fund at the South Shore Charter Public School in Norwell, students were given an opportunity to take the Advanced Driver Training at the Weymouth Air Force Base. This should be a mandatory, full-force legislation with no watering down whatsoever.}

Let this change you.
