Find his entire statement below:
Over the last year, there has been a significant increase in head-on collisions in the Valley Springs area that have resulted in deaths and major injuries to members of our communities.
Your firefighters are asking everyone to slow down, put their phones down, avoid passing cars to get to their destination a few minutes quicker, and have situational awareness.
Highways 12 and 26 have become a significant threat to everyone and have raised concerns among community members and your local firefighters.
Fire engines struggle to reach emergencies, as vehicles do not pull to the right side of the road to let emergency vehicles pass through traffic.
Drivers must pay attention to the road conditions in their vehicles’ front, back, and sides. Checking out while driving, along with reckless driving, is unacceptable.
The life you save may be yours!
