This is currently the time of year that law enforcement officers call the "100 Deadliest Days of Summer" due to the increases in serious-injury and fatal crashes from late May to early September. @OSHP estimates that around 1/3 of total traffic fatalities in any given year take place during this timeframe. I encourage all motorists to do their part by buckling up and never driving distracted or impaired. Many thanks to Thomas Tomasheski Sr. for joining us in Cleveland this week to share his family's story and promote the importance of safe, sober driving. Listen to his remarks here: bit.ly/4eCDEkD Video: @wkyc ⬇️

It's Ride to Work Day. Per NHTSA, 6,228 motorcyclists were killed on U.S. roads in 2024, making up 16% of all traffic fatalities. Drive responsibly: share the road, don’t speed, wear a helmet and always ride sober.
