My deepest condolances & sympathy to all 4 victims. May their soul rest in peace. Something common with two seperate incidences in MN & TX is "age". All the victims are between 19 - 21. According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, "In 2002, crashes were the No. 1 cause of death for every age from 3 through 33."

The Department of Transportation's statistics indicate that accidents are generally related to irresponsible driving behavior. About 40% of fatalities are related to drinking and driving, 30% to speeding and about 33% from a car going off the road (these groups are not mutually exclusive). Seat belt use is only at about 68% nationally, despite it being a highly cost-effective means to prevent fatalities and serious injuries. The very young and the very old are much more likely to be involved in accidents. Car accidents are currently the number one killer of people ages 1 to 37. About 1 in 30 young drivers will be injured in an accident each year. Young drivers are four times more likely to die in car accidents and are much more prone to speed, drive recklessly, not wear their seat belts and drink and drive than middle-aged drivers. If we could reduce these dangerous behaviors, we could prevent these needless deaths and injuries. Here are some sample statistics: Approximately 6.4 million accidents each year. Approximately 40,000 people die in auto accidents each year (a figure that has been generally declining for over 30 years) .

Since the young & the old are more likely to die in car accidents, my advice to all the young Nepalese in US is please be extra careful during the first few years of driving in US. Also always be aware of your surroundings and drive defensively. Driving in US may look easy but remember it takes time & experience to become a good driver. Although you might be an expert driving around your small town, city or your neighborhood, please be extra careful when you are driving to places you have never driven before.
