NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — As you celebrate our nation's independence this week, I wanted to bring you a staggering stat from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and remind you to plan a safe way to get around.
From 2018 to 2022, nearly 40 percent of the drivers killed over the July 4th holiday were drunk.
Don't let your celebration turn into a tragedy.
Schedule a rideshare, use the bus or make sure someone in your group is staying sober for the drive home.
In Nashville, WeGo Public Transit is extending many bus route times and offering a special July 4th train downtown. Reserve your spot up to 24 hours in advance at ticketsnashville.com.
Amidst their own grief and facing hatred these gentlemen worked to save lives. Forrest Sanders brings us a history lesson that's ripple effects are still evident across Nashville.
