Stay safe on UTVs after fatal wreck in Oxford
SUMMARY: This week, a tragic incident near Oxford highlighted the dangers of driving UTVs, or side-by-sides, on highways. An accident resulted in a fatality when a car struck a side-by-side on the road. Experts warn against taking these vehicles onto paved roads, noting that 67% of off-highway vehicle deaths occur in such settings. Driving UTVs on public highways is both unsafe and illegal in Mississippi. Safety recommendations include ensuring drivers are at least 16 years old, wearing helmets, and buckling up. Following these guidelines can significantly enhance safety and prevent accidents while enjoying off-road vehicles.
