An inspiring Florida man has made the most of a personal tragedy. The man was paralyzed by a bullet but has refused to let his personal injury slow him down. Instead, he has used it as an opportunity to inspire others.

At first, the man admits he felt angry. He would look at his non-responsive legs and feel frustrated. But he joined a group of spinal cord injury patients, which focused on getting the patients active and independent again through activities like barbecuing and hand-cycling.

Floridians need to take care both when entering and exiting interstates. When caution is not taken, there can be back outcomes. It is not only important to watch speeds, but it is also crucial that drivers use their mirrors, check their blind spots and are aware of other vehicles in their surroundings.

A family of five recently died when a car exiting Interstate 95 crashed into them. The auto accident happened around midnight when allegedly a speeding Mercedes exited I-95, blew through a red light and then slammed into a Lexus carrying five people. The collision knocked four people from the car. The four victims died at the scene. The fifth victim, the only one wearing a seat belt at the time of the accident, died later at the hospital they were transported to. The driver of the Mercedes was transported to the hospital with serious injuries, but they are not life threatening.

SUVs feel safe. Their size and high vantage point, however, give a false sense of security. Take, for instance, a recent auto accident, which reportedly killed 4 people, all in the same SUV.

The fatal SUV accident stemmed from a police chase. According to reports, the driver of a Chevrolet Suburban fled police as the result of previous run-ins with local authorities. That chase lasted 6 miles before the Suburban went north on the southbound lane of I-95 with police possibly in tow.

Many outdoors-loving Floridians would agree that sports are fun. They are also dangerous. This is true whether you play professionally, participate in high school athletics, or just engage in a pickup game with some friends. A tragic example of the dangers of sports made headlines recently, through the story of a young man who recently died after a long battle with a neck injury. He suffered the catastrophic injury during a high school football practice.

The young athlete was a running back for his high school football team. During a drill, several other players tackled him. The force of the tackle carried him through the sidelines and into a metal post near the practice field. The impact fractured two vertebrae in his neck, paralyzing him from the neck down. Following the accident, the young man needed both a ventilator to breathe as well as round-the-clock medical care due to his paralysis.
