In Ozona Texas, Jessica, a 32 year old, was on interstate 10 driving west. Whilst driving, she fell asleep and her car rolled and drifted on the highway. One of the cars that was hit was filled with three people. All three of them died. Ever since cars became an invention, safety has followed. Making sure that you're awake behind the wheel is just as essential and important as making sure you are sober when being behind the wheel. In 1891, the first car wreck occurred. Engineer James Lambert was driving a buggy and had James Swoveland in his passenger seat. A tree root was sticking out from the ground and the car hit it. He lost control of the wheel and the car crashed. Even with all of the safety features that cars have obtained over time, wrecks are still abundantly common.
