Seat Belts and Self Destruction on California's Highways A car veered off Highway 2 near Wrightwood in California, killing four people and critically injuring two others.
The victims were all from Wrightwood, a town of 5,000 nestled in the mountains north of Los Angeles. The incident is a grim reminder that human error often plays a significant role in traffic collisions.
While mechanical failure or environmental factors may contribute to accidents, they rarely occur in isolation.
