## Resource

At 4:40 AM on a Sunday, a deadly two-car crash on Blue Parkway east of Raytown left four people dead or critically injured — all because no one was wearing a seatbelt. A Chevrolet Tahoe rear-ended a Ford Focus, sending both vehicles into a ravine. The Ford’s driver died at the scene, while a passenger died later in the hospital. The front-seat passenger from the Ford and the Tahoe’s driver are in critical condition. Authorities are withholding names. This is a chilling reminder: always buckle up — it could be the difference between life and death. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
