Traffic Safety Thursday: Crash Fallout
May 2, 2024
Our conversation for Traffic Safety Thursday with Lt. Warren
Gosnell from Frederick County Sheriff's Office gives some
insight into the fallout from a crash like the one that happened on
Interstate 81 this week.
Lt. Gosnell talks about the difficult conversation family members should consider having with their elderly loved ones when it comes to their driving privileges. He also sympathizes with the bystanders/travelers who were caught up in the overflow traffic when diversion from I-81 began.
Lt. Gosnell also shares his frustration with "electronic
rubberneckers" who held up traffic while trying to snap photos and
take video of the accident and backups. He cautions against such
acts particularly when they're posted on social media out of
respect for families. Additionally, he reminds listeners that slow
moving traffic is still moving, therefore you CANNOT have your
phone in your hands.
