Given the recent fatal accident in Missouri involving a pedestrian and a tractor trailer, AAA spokesperson, Mike Wright, was interviewed by KSDK. Mr. Wright provided helpful tips for St. Louis, Missouri drivers in the event of a disabled car. Given the approaching winter weather, it is likely that drivers will be experiencing car breakdowns or even vehicles stuck in the snow or ice. Mr. Wright explains that if possible, the car should be moved out of the line of traffic and the driver and occupants should stay within the vehicle with the hazard lights on. If the car occupants are forced to walk for whatever reason, it is best to walk into traffic. That might sound odd but it makes perfect sense. If you walk into traffic, you can see where the cars are as opposed to them driving up behind you.
