Motorcycle deaths drop across US, but road safety concerns remain

A conflicting report from the Governors Highway Safety Association carried both good and bad news for motorcycle enthusiasts in San Francisco and across the nation. The good news is that the overall number of motorcycle accident fatalities fell by approximately two percent from 2009 to 2010. The bad news is that this data may provide a misleading picture of the state of motorcycle safety, as researchers believe that certain “red flags” within the report could actually place motorcycle riders at greater risk for a fatal accident.

It’s easy to buy into over-generalized stereotypes about teenage drivers. Movies and TV shows often portray young drivers as reckless, speed demons who endanger themselves and other motorists with their careless driving.

Yet, a new study conducted by the Center for Injury Research and Prevention at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and State Farm Insurance Companies found that reckless and drunken teenage drivers are actually less likely to cause a car accident than teens who are simply inexperienced or distracted behind the wheel.

San Francisco Giants pitcher Barry Zito benched after car accident

Baseball fans are breathing a collective sigh of relief after San Francisco Giants general manager Bruce Bochy announced that pitcher Barry Zito may be well enough to take the field sooner rather than later after suffering minor injuries during a Los Angeles car accident.

The accident occurred last Wednesday night in West Hollywood. The Giants were in the Los Angeles area for their season opener at Dodger Stadium, scheduled to take place last Thursday. Zito was unable to take part in the opening game, however, after a cabdriver struck his vehicle and sent him to a local medical center. Despite having to miss the game, experts say that Zito was extremely lucky to walk away from the car accident without more serious injuries.
