Crash reminds us to buckle upDallas Morning
News 6/12/01

• Crash reminds us to buckle up
• Re Family, friends recall 6 killed in I-20
  crash, June 11.
• I felt sick to my stomach. Its not the sort of
  news that I want to read in the morning. It could
  have been my family or yours. A father without
  his wife and five of his children. A child
  without his mother, brothers and sisters. God
  rest their souls.
• You know what is the worst part? We let this
  happen every day. I read another story recently
  about a family of 11 or so and, if memory serves
  me correctly, nine of them died. None was wearing
  seat belts, either.
• Texans must be brought up differently to me.
  Im Australian and the first thing I was taught
  when I get in a car is to put my seat belt on. No
  ifs or buts, its just done. Ive been doing it
  all my life.
• The click it or ticket campaign does not seem
  to be working, does it? To some its a joke and
  to some, like the family in the article, it means
  death. Somethings going wrong, Texas. Were
  losing too many people who could have survived
  traffic accidents had they been wearing seat
  belts.
• Come on, Texas, buckle up.
