Keith Wallace. William Rotunda.
Wallace was killed, and Rotunda critically injured when their pickup truck rolled over on the southbound Interstate 75 on-ramp at State Road 70, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Neither was using a seat belt.
Whether that would have changed the fate for these two teens, who knows?
The National Highway Safety Administration estimates the new law will save 124 lives and prevent 1,733 inuries in Florida every year.
Never mind a hefty fine.
How many times have we read about fatalities involving motorists or passengers who didn't use seat belts and were thrown from their vehicles?
Unfortunately, they will not be the last.
