Traffic Accidents Can Be Avoided

When driving, it is important to follow all driving laws and the conditions of the road. If you see any vehicle or driver that looks dangerous, keep your distance. If you notice a vehicle weaving in and out of the lanes, following too closely, or traveling at a higher rate of speed, move over a few lanes and get out of their way.

Most importantly, do not drink and drive.

Drive defensively to ensure the safety of surrounding vehicles and to avoid incidents like the vehicle crash near Highway 359.
