thisnewdayII - Just the Facts
Of the (6) motor vehicle fatalities reported in the state of Iowa for the week ending December 14, 2007, (4) involved drivers under the age of 25. One of them, Dubuque high school senior Bianca Vocke, was only 17.
In addition, (5) of the (6) victims, including Vocke, were not wearing seatbelts at the time of the accident. In the remaining case, the seatbelt data is listed as unknown.
Since first reporting Vocke's accident on its website, the Dubuque Colts Drum & Bugle Corps, of which she was a member, has vowed to make driver safety an educational priorty of the corps.
It is their hope that, by so doing, her death may not have been in vain.
