NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — As you celebrate our nation's independence this week, I wanted to bring you a staggering stat from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and remind you to plan a safe way to get around.
From 2018 to 2022, nearly 40 percent of the drivers killed over the July 4th holiday were drunk.
Don't let your celebration turn into a tragedy.
Schedule a rideshare, use the bus or make sure someone in your group is staying sober for the drive home.
In Nashville, WeGo Public Transit is extending many bus route times and offering a special July 4th train downtown. Reserve your spot up to 24 hours in advance at ticketsnashville.com.
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
