@Mtnerror,
You make a good point about seat belt use in taxis. Although I normally sit in the back (it reduces conversation with the driver), during the summer when it's cooler in the front, often the driver seems upset when I put the belt on. I humor him (it's almost always him) by saying, "I know you're a good driver, it's the other guy I worry about!"
@Brooklynnative,
Agreed. From the photo, it's difficult to see why it was so serious, but without other photos or knowing how fast they were traveling or why the crash occurred, hard to say why it claimed three lives.
