HARVARD, Ill., Oct. 16, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Some people crave the rush when one gets when he goes from 0 to 60, unmindful of the dangers. Author Ivan T. Fox reveals a compelling photo collection of Classic Crashes that will make them curb their need for speed and think twice about driving beyond the speed limit.
In this fascinating picture book, readers will discover some of highway's greatest hits, as Fox visually takes them through the twentieth century. The book shows how the street scenes have evolved, from past to present. Documented in the book as well are pictures of the emergency vehicles of yesteryears, including their Rescue and Recovery Procedure. The photos of devastating car accidents that range from minor to fatal are proof enough that speed can indeed kill.
Stark yet provocative, Classic Crashes serves as a reminder to drivers everywhere that excessive speed can be deadly; that drinking and driving do not go well together; and that an S-curve in the road does not mean SPEED up. Though these pictures were taken in the past, these tragedies are still happening at present. Fox imparts the message that if only everyone practices responsible driving, the streets can be so much safer.
Classic Crashes will be featured in the New York Library Association Book Exhibit in Niagara Falls, New York, from October 15-16, 2009. For more information, log on to www.Xlibris.com.
