Today alone, 11 people will be killed in a distracted driving accident. More than 1,000 will be injured.
Several poor decisions led to an avoidable car crash that took the life of Philip Lutzenkirchen, a former Auburn University student-athlete and football stand-out whose impact went far beyond the football field. Nobody thought his life would end in an impaired driving crash, but it did. That’s why 43 Key Seconds initiative exists — to prevent drivers from making decisions that lead to accidents or fatalities caused by distracted, impaired and unsafe driving.
Georgia Safe Driving Summit
On March 31, 2022, the Lutzie 43 Foundation and the Georgia Department of Transportation hosted the inaugural Safe Driving Summit at the University of West Georgia in Carrollton, Georgia. We are excited to share an overview of the event and look forward to bringing the Safe Driving Summit to other communities across the state of Georgia.
