I would like to reiterate
The importance of teens driving safely. 💔
These 2 young men were also cross-country runners like Eddie.💔
A car accident in Sagner Tx claimed the life of 2 young men and has left another hospitalized and in critical condition.
19 yr Old Sam Musgrove
And Daniel Martinez also 19; died as a result of the accident. Both 2025 graduates.
Please be aware 🙏
The 100 Deadliest days are from Memorial day to Labor day. And are known as the most dangerous months for teen drivers.
Please talk to your teens about the responsibilities of driving and the dangers on the road.
🚨⚠️"100 Deadliest Days"⚠️🚨
The 100-day window between Memorial Day and Labor Day is disproportionately violent on Texas roadways.
☀️Summer Surge: Approximately 30% of all Texas teen-involved crash fatalities occur during these summer months. In the summer of 2024 alone, Texas ranked first nationally with 68 teen summer driving deaths.
🇨🇱Statewide:
Research tracks ◇Texas as having the ◇10th highest ◇fatal teen driver crash rate◇ in the country, averaging 6.17 deaths per 10,000 licensed teen drivers.
📌The Long-Term Streak: Motor vehicle crashes remain the leading cause of death for Texas teenagers.📌
The state's road safety crisis is continuous; Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) records show that November 7, 2000, was the last deathless day on Texas roads.
I have shared the GoFundMe link created by one of the young man's family.
