Accident Homework Help


glitter-graphics.com

 

 

Mac needs help!  As part of his requirements in Drivers Education class he must submit 30 articles involving vehicle accidents.  It is incredibly difficult to do a generic web search for auto accidents and not end up inundated with "Need a Lawyer" type sites.

Here's how you can help us.  If you could be so very kind as to leave a link and/or the web address to your local newspaper, we can search that way to find accidents in your local news.

I've found accidents from the Arizona Republic, Toledo Blade and Cleveland Metro News, as well as the local paper, Dothan Eagle... but we still need 24 more articles!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for any assistance (web addresses/links) that you can throw our way.

    Estela, here's my local newspaper:

    www.themonitor.com

    you can type in accident or car accident in their Search area up at the top, select site (not web) and you can view lots of articles regarding car accidents.  That will probably work with any newspaper.

    Good luck!  I remember those days of helping my kids with their school work.  One weekend "we" (son and I) wrote a 3 page research paper on Pancho Villa.  I never learned so much about one notorious person in such a short time!!
