Question No. 2

Issue : Estimated US highway deaths up slightly to 42,800: Sport utility rollover fatalities rising sharply /Reuters.

DFO : A number like 42,800 doesn’t mean much — unless a friend or a loved one was part of that number. In 1976, I lost my father in an accident in San Joaquin County (Stockton area), Calif. To this point, it remains the most tragic event in the lives of my mother and siblings. I’ll always remember what I was doing when I heard the news.

Question: Have you lost a loved one in a traffic accident?
