Did you know that pickup trucks are little more likely to spin out off control than other vehicle types? Their heavy but unevenly distributed weight can turn then into deadly whirlygigs at high speeds. While SUVs are more dangerous to others on the road in a collision, and small cars are more dangerous for their own drivers, pickups represent the highest risk to all parties at the same time. On Tuesday, a black pickup was passing thorough the intersection at Flamingo and Eastern, probably speeding. The driver lost control and skidded into another truck. Both drivers were transported to Sunrise hospital with serious injuries. The intersection was closed for hours. mynews3/content/kutner/story/Accident-involving-two-trucks-shuts-down-Flamingo/TfLckUlyrkupHC3r4J8bTw.cspx The first takeaway from this story is, of course, dont speed through city streets. But the second might not be so obvious: know your risks. Choose the vehicle you commute in carefully. If you want or need to drive something unsafe, drive carefully.
