Multiple Speed-Related Fatal Crashes Across U.S.

Several fatal vehicle crashes occurred across the U.S. in recent days, with authorities attributing many to excessive speed. In Detroit, a 20-year-old Dearborn man died after his car rear-ended another vehicle at high speed on I-94, rolled over, struck a tree, and caught fire. In Henry Clay Township, Pennsylvania, 20-year-old Zoey Baughman was killed in a single-vehicle crash on Route 40. A crash in Shannon County, Missouri, resulted in one death and two serious injuries when a truck left the road and hit a tree, with the victim not wearing a seatbelt. Another fatal accident on I-95 in Mims, Florida, left one person dead and another seriously hurt. Authorities in multiple states are urging drivers to slow down, noting that excessive speed is a common factor in these preventable tragedies.
