  1. I hope this driver survives and heals. If the car/SUV had faulty passive passenger restraints (seat belts) I hope the car company gets throughly sued. If the passenger was not wearing seat belts? …

    Oh well – some people who can get COVID vaccinations don’t believe in that science either.

  2. VOICE reporters – could you check the police reports to see if seat belts were used or failed? (which I guess may not be clearly evident?)
