This accident should remind us of the left-right-left rule when pulling into intersections. Before entering the intersection, always look to your left, then to your right, AND THEN TO YOUR LEFT AGAIN to make sure the roadway is clear. These extra few seconds could save your life or a friend's life by avoiding a serious car accident.
