It is important to increase public awareness of the consequences of motor vehicle crashes that injure and kill drivers, passengers and pedestrians.  It is even MORE important to discuss it in terms of red light runners and the devastation they can cause.  Howard Fleischmann, owner of Community Tire and Automotive Repair, knows first-hand of the loss.  He is part of the Red Means Stop initiative which is aimed at reminding the public of something that small children know: Red Means Stop.

More than 7,000 people are injured in Arizona each year because of red light running crashes, and excessive speed and distracted drivers are the common causes.
