To the editor:
My family and I were involved in an accident on Route 3 in Harrietstown on 8/12 which subsequently appeared on your front page. While your facts were for the most part correct, your omission of the Subaru driver's failure to wear her seat belt did the public a disservice. All in my vehicle and the vehicle of the driver at fault wore theirs and received no serious injury. We can't predict when things like this will happen, but we can be proactive in insuring that we and those we love have the best chance of a good outcome. That poor woman's only fault was being in the wrong place at that time. Had she worn her belt instead of fastening it behind her, her injuries would most likely have been far less grievous.
