Dear Care for Crash Victims Community Members:
One of our members, Marianne Karth, has asked that I share her most recent progress report on stopping the tragedies of Truck Underride crash deaths and injuries. See attached.
Marianne lost two daughters in such a crash and has been doing great work advancing public attention to the need and feasibility of ending such tragedies. Her life saving work to protect us all is available at:
Please review and share and help as it may save your life or a loved one’s life.
Please help.
Sincerely,
Lou Lombardo

Lou,
We wanted to get the word out to you about a couple of new developments in our underride efforts.
- The Road to Zero Coalition now has over 740 members. Their vision is to work together to move us toward Zero Traffic Deaths by 2050. Recently they released a Truck Underride Priority Statement, and we are so happy to share it with you: Road to Zero Coalition Truck Underride Priority Statement! Please read & consider adding your voice to this effort.
- We were recently privileged to travel to South Carolina to work with Michael Hawkins (Cool Breeze Studio). Mike knows all too well the danger of trucks as he was in a horrific truck crash 14 years ago. He was in a coma for months & his family considers it a miracle that he is alive. He has dedicated his life to learning video production skills and we are excited to have his passion applied to the underride issue. Here’s a short “trailer” he just finished (plans are in the works for a longer documentary). https://youtu.be/eUAhfk8AsU8 Please view & share it.
Thank you for your interest in underride protection as a practical way to Save Lives. We are so very thankful that we are not in this alone. Let us know if you have any questions.
