Reaching for objects while driving may raise teen crash risk nearly sevenfold

0

BETHESDA, Maryland, Feb. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Teenagers who reach for objects, such as food or makeup, while driving increase their risk of crashing nearly seven times, according to researchers at the National Institutes of Health. Their study, which appears in the American Journal of Preventative Medicine, also found that manually dialing, texting or browsing the web on a phone while driving doubled a teen’s crash risk.

Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death and disabilities among drivers aged 15 to 20 years, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The current study is the first to use real-time driving data to quantify the extent to which visual inattention—the amount of time a teen’s eyes shift from the road to various distractions—contributes to the risk of a crash.

Researchers followed 82 newly licensed teen drivers in Virginia over a one-year period, equipping their vehicles with cameras and GPS technology to track the driver’s activity and environment. After one year, 43 of the drivers did not experience a crash, while 25 had one crash and 14 had two or more crashes. Using six-second videos of driver behavior prior to a crash, researchers calculated that for every second that a teen’s eyes were off the road, the risk of a crash increased by 28 percent regardless of the type of distraction. Teens manually using a cell phone doubled their odds of crashing. Teens who were reaching for something while driving increased their risk nearly sevenfold, which researchers attributed to a combination of distractions, including taking their eyes off the road and their hands off the wheel.

“Teenage drivers are so comfortable with mobile devices that they tend to overestimate their ability to multitask while driving,” said Bruce Simons-Morton, M.P.H., Ed.D., a senior investigator at NIH’s Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and one of the authors of the study.

In addition to documenting a driver’s dialing, texting, browsing or reaching for a phone, researchers assessed numerous “secondary tasks,” including dancing to music, attending to personal hygiene, and eating or drinking. The study found that the greatest crash risk came from visual distractions related to using cell phones and reaching for objects.

“During their first year of independent driving, teens often engage in many different activities behind the wheel that could lead to a crash,” said Pnina Gershon, Ph.D., the study’s lead author. “Teenage drivers may benefit from interventions that monitor and alert them during frequent or prolonged inattention to the road.”

Luis Coronel with St. Jude patient Ashley.

During the event, thousands of Univision radio listeners across the U.S. called in or went online to become Angeles de Esperanza (Angels of Hope), joining the #ThisShirtSavesLives movement by pledging to make a monthly donation of $20 or more to support the St. Jude mission. St. Jude is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Discoveries made at St. Jude are shared freely, so every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists can use that knowledge to save thousands more children around the world.

“It’s an incredible privilege to partner with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital each year for the Promesa y Esperanza radio event. We are proud to give a platform to the #ThisShirtSavesLives movement and to help our community support St. Jude’s important mission,” said Jesus Lara, president of radio at Univision Communications Inc. “By donating and wearing the THIS SHIRT, our community continues to demonstrate its incredible heart and commitment to helping St. Jude end childhood cancer not just in the U.S., but worldwide.”

The on-air push extended beyond radio, with several Univision regional and national television shows, as well as Univision online, adding support to the effort. The event coincided with a campaign encouraging Univision listeners, talent and St. Jude celebrity friends to participate by wearing and sharing photos in their THIS SHIRT on social media.

Several artists, influencers and popular Univision on-air personalities participated in the St. Jude event, including: Omar Velasco and Argelia Atilano of “El show de Omar y Argelia”; Sylvia del Valle of “La Bronca”; José Gutierrez of “El Tambochi” and Carlos Iván Páez “El Compa Iván” of El Free-Güey; Raúl Molinar, Carla Medrano and Andrés Maldonado of “El Bueno, La Mala y El Feo”; Alejandro González and Maikel Rodríguez of “Los Pichy Boys”; Javier Romero of “Desayuno Musical”; Alberto Sardiñas of “El Show de Alberto Sardiñas”; Raúl Brindis of “El Show de Raúl Brindis”; Maria Esther Méndez and Pancho Mercado of “La Chula y La Bestia”; Santi and  Laurita of AMOR 107.5; Raúl De Molina, Lili Estefan and Tanya Charry of “El Gordo y La Flaca”; Tony Dandrades, Pamela Silva Conde, Jackie Guerrido, Borja Voces of “Primer Impacto”; Francisca Lachapel, Alan Tacher, Maity Interiano and Chef Jesús of “Despierta América”; as well as Gabriela Bañuelos, Cristy Clavijo-Kish, Ana Flores, Gaby Natale, Carmen Ordoñez, members of the World Boxing Council and more.

St. Jude began celebrating radiothons in 1998 and launched the first national radiothon with Univision’s radio stations in New York, Miami, and Los Angeles in 2006. The national radiothon first took place across all Univision’s radio markets in 2009. Since its inception, the St. Jude/Univision national event has raised more than $65 million.

“Our founder Danny Thomas believed that ‘no child should die in the dawn of life,’ which is one of the driving forces in St. Jude’s aim to transform cancer care worldwide to cure at least 60 percent of children with six of the most common types of cancer by 2030,” said Richard C. Shadyac Jr., the president and chief executive officer of ALSAC, the fundraising and awareness organization for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. “We’re able to pursue these ambitions in partnership with others because of the amazing support of our friends at Univision and the Angeles de Esperanza. Together we won’t stop until no child dies from cancer.”

Performance and Design Highlight the All-New 2020 Toyota Corolla

0
The 12th-generation Toyota Corolla's bold new look brings efficiency, no matter the grade.

SAVANNAH, Georgia, Feb. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — With more than 46 million Toyota Corollas sold globally since its introduction in 1966, it would be difficult to find a driver who did not recognize the name. Everyone, it seems, has a Corolla story. Many, though, are going to be doing double takes when they see the re-imagined and reconfigured 2020 Toyota Corolla sedan. And that’s exactly the point.

The 12th-generation Toyota Corolla's bold new look brings efficiency, no matter the grade.

The 12th-generation Toyota Corolla made its arrival in three chapters: the all-new Corolla hatchback arrived last summer, and then came the current best-selling Corolla body style, the sedan, in two waves – a reveal of the new gas model in Carmel and then the introduction of the U.S.’ first Corolla Hybrid at the Los Angeles Auto Show. All three are based on the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA), which is far more than a new body structure, bringing together new approaches to engineering, design, assembly, and materials. Now, there really is a Corolla for everyone.

TNGA transforms Corolla styles into drivers’ delights while also bolstering the model’s renowned value and reliability. They draw from the same DNA. It’s no surprise, then, that the 2020 Corolla sedan dramatically elevates this model’s focus on comfort and refinement while also infusing it with the Corolla hatchback’s feisty personality.

The Corolla sedan’s bold new look is a perfect reflection of the bumper-to-bumper, wheels-to-roof transformation that has taken place. The TNGA platform means an available engine that produces more power than its predecessor yet delivers better fuel efficiency. TNGA imbues the Corolla sedan with greater agility, yet also with its smoothest, quietest ride. TNGA also means an elevated feeling of quality in every surface, switch and control the driver sees and touches. And, critically, TNGA delivers on Toyota’s commitment to driver and passenger safety with the Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 suite of active safety systems – standard on every Corolla sedan model.

Efficiency No Matter the Grade

Every grade of the 2020 Corolla has better combined fuel efficiency estimates than the previous generation. The L and LE grades have better fuel efficiency estimates in all three categories – city/highway/combined – while the XLE has better fuel efficiency estimates in city and highway and has the same combined fuel economy estimate.

The new Dynamic Force engine, which adds 37 horsepower to the SE and XSE grades over the previous generation models, has an estimated three more combined mpg with the CVT, and an estimated two more combined mpg with the manual transmission.

The Corolla Hybrid, which has the lowest purchase price of any hybrid in the Toyota lineup, has the second-highest mpg estimate of any vehicle in that same lineup.
