Very sad indeed. Young folks need to realize the very real dangers that are so possible. When I took drivers ED in high school they showed a film called Route 30 and it showed different types of accidents and it was very graphic. It was very old film that showed pictures of accidents after the fact and a mans voice telling us what actually happen and how this could be avoided.
