Car accidents can happen to anyone, even celebrities. Recently, a NBA star was involved in a car crash. Because car accidents can happen to anyone and have very serious consequences, it is important that we take precautions when driving to help keep ourselves and others safe on the roadways.
On November 23, 2018, famous NBA player, Steph Curry, was involved in a car accident on a freeway in California. Curry was driving on the freeway when another driver lost control of their vehicle and struck Curry’s car. After the collision, Curry pulled over to the center median while waiting for law enforcement officials. While awaiting the officers arrival, a second vehicle struck his car, this time rear ending Curry’s vehicle.
Fortunately, no one was injured in either of the collisions. Law enforcement officials believe that the weather played a role in both of the accidents. The weather on the day of the accidents was rainy. During weather such as rain or snow, drivers should adjust their speed for the weather conditions. By slowing down and paying close attention to the roadway, drivers can help to prevent accidents.
Law enforcement officials also want the accidents to set an example for the importance of wearing seat belts. All of the drivers and passengers involved in these accidents were wearing their seat belts, which helped to keep them safe. By wearing their seat belts, the drivers and passengers helped to protect themselves from injuries in the accidents.
Because no one is immune from being involved in a car accident, we should all engage in safe driving practices such as wearing seat belts and driving at the appropriate speed for the weather conditions. By doing so, we can make the roadways safer for all.
