So sorry for the loss of Aidden Lambeth. Prayers to his family and friends. Wandering if he had an early morning job he was heading to and if he was wearing his seatbelt?
Yea he had an early morning tree trimming job
Tragic Situation for this young man, his family and friends. We will probably never know if he swerved to miss something, fell asleep, or he was distracted by his cell phone or something else, etc., I wish they would say if he had his seatbelt on, which in most cases would increase someone's chances of survival by 50% or more.
Missouri - Cell Phone Law Change Effective - January 1st, 2025:
In Missouri, a new hands-free law, the Siddens Bening Hands-Free Law, took effect on January 1, 2025, making it illegal to hold or support a cell phone while driving. This means drivers cannot use a handheld cell phone for any reason, including texting, calling, or even browsing the internet. Violations will result in citations and fines.
School cell phone ban:
Additionally, a separate law will require schools to implement policies restricting student cell phone use during the school day, beginning with the 2025-2026 school year.
Please, tell your kids to Buckle Up and Put their Cell Phones Down while Driving, let's not lose another person to any more automobile accidents.
You’re a dumb idiot. Delete your comment
Just exactly what's never needed at a time like this.
Endless speculation and pontificating.
11:22AM, This is a terrible loss for all, his family and friends, but should we just put our heads in the sand and not talk about it, pretend it did not happen, not see if we could possibly save another teenager from losing their life. Aidden Lambeth, seems like a kid that would have wanted to make sure that it didn't happen again. Sometimes we all need to talk about things share the loss, share why this happened, and how could it had been prevented. What if just one person listens and learns is it worth it, maybe in your world it doesn't matter, but for people that have had to bury a child it does - so STFU!
Maybe 11:22AM has all the answers, maybe he can help prevent another person's death, we all doubt it, but it is an open forum - and from one tragedy maybe some light can be shown.
In the US, an estimated 11 teenagers die every day as a result of texting and driving. This means that approximately 3,344 teenagers die annually from this form of distracted driving. Additionally, distracted driving, including cell phone use, contributes to 1.6 million accidents each year. Put that Cell Phone Down while Driving, it is the Law.
He out at 5AM becouse he was going to work in the industrial park, not from partying
We all know the stats, this isn’t the time or the place for them, a young man has passed and his friends and family are grieving. You have no class just a damn Karen that keeps banging your gums together until so you feel important…
Anonymous11:22 AM - You're what?
Why don't you shut up. You have no idea if he was on his phone.
