I learned years ago to drive through intersections around here, with my foot over the brake pedal, and hand over the horn. Any bets on if a cell phone was involved?
"The Dodge was driven by John Smith, 56, of Las Vegas."
Will he write about it in his Review-Journal column?
Seriously speaking though, what a typical Vegas traffic accident. I'm genuinely hoping that the ongoing exodus out of Vegas makes this a better, safer community to live in.
