U.S. DOT Continues To Fail in Protecting Motorists – Guardrails That Kill & Maim
October, 2014
Dear Care for Crash Victims Community Members:
The NY Times has excellently highlighted another failure of federal officials to protect Americans. “By last month, state transportation officials in Missouri said they had seen enough.
Federal highway officials had long insisted that guardrails throughout the state were safe. But some guardrail heads had apparently malfunctioned, in essence turning the rails into spears when cars hit them and injuring people instead of cushioning the blow, Missouri officials said.”
Especially Note:
- Video Report by ABC “20/20” and
- Readers’ Picks in NY Times Comments
Hopefully Congressional committees will continue to investigate and publish documents and transcripts to better educate the public as to Federal failures to protect Americans.
