So tragic. Prayers for these families.
Seat belts anyone know? Seems like 2 fatal wrecks in Rankin could have probably been a bit different if seat belts were involved.
Yesterday's rollover I agree seatbelts would possibly have lessened the severity of injury. The head on ..... maybe not so much. Airbags and seatbelts can not mitigate the compaction of the passenger area. May not be the case here but distracted driving frequently turns out to be the cause of such collisions.
People are driving like f**king idiots these days! I'm almost run over everyday on my commute into Jackson. Madison and Jackson PD just sit in there blacked out unmarked SUVs and watch. (ok, JPD do not have black suvs) but, What the hell are they waiting for?
3:36; Grow up! It's not the responsibility of a policeman to prevent people from running into each other in vehicles.
A lot of the wreckless driving can be attributed to several factors. We have a segment of society that does not graduate from school. Therefore you cannot take drivers Ed in school and be properly instructed to operate a motor vehicle. Secondly, law enforcement is not cracking down on these type drivers. I hate to point fingers but the large majority come from a school system inside Jackson. Can you remember seeing a drivers Ed car from JPS in the last few years? I can't.
slow news cycle. boring. two cars in the entire state of Kansas long ago. they collided. stir a pot KF.
I don't think that drivers ed is the responsibility of the school system. Let the private sector handle driver's ed. If you can't afford it, then you can't afford owning a car. That's goes for the parents, too. That will take care of everybody, including the drop outs. Go ahead and blame Jackson all you want 4:57, it won't solve the problem of all the teenage Rankin County rednecks with their jacked up trucks. Ever think of that?
10:23-Rankin County rednecks? You are so out of line and heartless. You should read the obituary of the young man who was killed.
