Gloucester Woman Dies on Route 17

I sympathize for the family of Ms. Carey who died on route 17 in Gloucester before her time was up. Accidents happen every day in rural areas like Gloucester on Route 17, the Eastern Shore on Route 13, and Franklin on Route 58. Country roads can be very dangerous for people who live near them because of the volume of travelers. When people drive long distances that take them down rural roads the long stretches of road can cause fatigue, stress, and the driver to lose control. The ways to avoid an accident on country roads is to get a good night sleep before driving long stretches, avoid driving at night after a long day of work (take a rest), make sure to take breaks every two hours during your drive, and be alert in places with a high volume of animals. “To be or not to be” is the question. Do you want to be the cause of another person’s death because you did not take the necessary precautions to drive safely or do you want to be the safe alert driver that can be able to prevent an accident?
