WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said on Sunday it would investigate a highway crash in Alabama that killed nine children and a young father when a van and other vehicles slammed together during Tropical Storm Claudette.

The NTSB said a team of 10 investigators would focus on the role of vehicle technologies like forward collision warning systems, fuel tank integrity, motor carrier operations and occupant survivability.

Democrats will say racism played a large factor
Tragic. More children di.ed in this car accident than the total number of children that COVID-19 has ki.lled in the entire US. Heartbreaking that these children spent the last year of their life forced to sit around at home over something less d.eadly to them than the common flu, and when they finally get out they die due to car accident. The number of car accidents since the start of COVID-19 has gone up significantly...apparently lockdowns have made people forget how to drive. Millions of people die each year globally due to car accidents, around 90 people per day just within the US.
You are sick
The NTSB is blaming the increase in risky driving habits formed when there were less cars on the road. I did some research rather than spewing my opinions across the internet.
