Congress, Act Now To End Deadly Truck Underride!
- af: Jerry & Marianne Karth and Lois Durso
- mottagare: Members of U.S. Congress, United States
Hundreds of people die every year when pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, and passenger vehicles go underneath trucks. Over 4,000 have died during the past 19 years since the last underride regulation was issued in 1998. Families of victims and safety advocates are calling for an end to preventable truck underride tragedies.
It can happen to anyone -- even if their car has a 5-Star Crash Rating. It can happen anywhere. It happened to 17-year-old AnnaLeah and 13-year-old Mary Karth when their car went under the rear of a semi-trailer in Georgia on May 4, 2013. And it happened to 26-year-old Roya Sadigh when her car went under the side of a truck in Indiana on November 24, 2004.
It's time for Congress to mandate that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration update underride regulations, and for the trucking industry to install effective underride protection. The STOP Underrides! Bill -- introduced by Senator Gillibrand (D-NY), Senator Rubio (R-FL), Congressman Cohen (D-TN), and Congressman DeSaulnier (D-CA), on March 5, 2019, will allow creative engineers to put effective underride protections on every truck, and help end preventable underride tragedies.

We are launching a new petition to take advantage of the national attention this broadcast will bring to underride. Please sign & share: Secretary Pete, It's Past Time To End Death By Underride! https://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/677/370/984/
We are asking that people send us crash reports for collisions with trucks which they suspect involved underride. Send them to marianne@annaleahmary.com. We will submit these as complaints to ODI.
To submit one yourself go our website: https://annaleahmary.com/2022/07/launching-a-campaign-to-flood-nhtsa-with-underride-complaint-reports/
Tell them why this is important to you. Thank you!
p.s. The hearing may take two days, plus this Bill will have to go for a House Floor Vote later. So your email will NOT be too late whenever you send it.
