Ending the Streak of Traffic Deaths in El Paso
EL PASO, Texas-- 15 years ago before Deputy Sheriff Manuel Reyes joined the El Paso Sheriff's Office, he was riding on his motorcycle when he was t-boned and was saved after his motorcycle accident. The Help End the Streak of Traffic Deaths event held by TxDOT El Paso District an Harley Davidson meant a little more for him.
At the event, you were given the opportunity to drive on obstacles with goggles that simulated the affect of being intoxicated. Driving intoxicated is one of the main factors that has contributed to the 13 motorcycle fatalities in just 2022.
Reyes hit on the importance of taking the right safety precautions before hitting the road on your motorcycle, because in his words, riding a motorcycle with just a helmet and two wheels is a much different experience than riding in a four-wheel vehicle.
