There is far too much carnage on the roads, Just this last week a number of people were killed in various types of accidents.
But this week, it's close to home, a relative was hit and killed while walking home last Saturday night.
20 year old Jeffrey Wide was struck from behind by an SUV and died at the scene.
The details still have not been released but the devastation to the family and his many friends has been done.
We've all seen the roadside memorials, unfortunately far too many.
It's so tragic that a small mistake, momentary lapse of attention or driver distraction can cause a fatal accident in the blink of an eye.
EVERYONE MUST drive like their life depends on it, because their life and lives of loved ones DO!

Tragedy strikes quickly and takes the life of this truck's driver.
The driver entered the highway ramp too fast and the top heavy load caused the truck to roll onto it's side.
The driver was partially ejected when the truck overturned pinning him under the vehicle, authorities said he didn't stand a chance and was killed instantly.
This is Toronto's 47th traffic fatality this year.
Many people don't realize the shear inertia that a loaded truck has once it gets moving.
The "load" wants to remain in motion at the same speed and direction and sometimes the physical abilities of the vehicle cannot control that force of inertia and tragedy strikes.
Always give trucks a little extra space for your safety and theirs.
