2020 Marks Large Decrease in Automobile Accidents in Florida
Although much of the news out of Florida during 2020 was exceedingly grim, the pandemic still raging through our fair state did have one mildly beneficial effect. According to reporting from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, the number of car accidents that took place within Florida during the 2020 year was dramatically reduced from that which occurred during 2019. While not confirmed, it is believed that this is the result of less people traveling to the state for tourist activities.

Collision Between Car & Box Truck in Orange County Leaves One Dead
Collisions between cars and trucks are usually far more damaging and dangerous for the person within the car. While the dangers to the drivers and passengers within the truck is not negligible, it is important to recognize that the size difference between the car and the truck is fairly large, and that trucks are therefore heavier and more likely to cause severe damage to the smaller vehicle. This concept was illustrated to a tragic level in the middle of December, when a 25-year-old woman died after being involved in a collision with a box truck.
