Texans are dying — and they don’t<br />
have to.<br />
As I write this in late August, more<br />
than 2,200 people have died in crashes<br />
on Texas roads this year. Last year, the<br />
number of deaths topped 3,700. The<br />
year before that, it was close to 3,800.<br />
Every day in Texas, on average, 10<br />
people die in a traffic crash. Every day.<br />
Traffic deaths keep stacking up,<br />
going largely unnoticed. We seem<br />
to have accepted traffic crashes<br />
and deaths as a normal part of the<br />
driving experience. Many even call<br />
them “accidents,” as if they somehow<br />
happen without reason. But a crash<br />
has a cause; and a death has a way to<br />
be prevented.<a title="TNMAG0918 page 1" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/ac33887c?page=1"> THE ROAD TO RECRUITMENT TxDOT unveils a new recru</a>
