'PARIS — A German jetliner on a routine flight to Düsseldorf from Barcelona, Spain, rapidly lost altitude for more than eight minutes and then crashed in the French Alps on Tuesday morning with 144 passengers and six crew members onboard, the airline said.
Prime Minister Manuel Valls of France said that no one on the plane had survived the crash.
New idea for keeping teens safe: lock them up until they're 25.
OK, maybe that's not reasonable. But in a new report published by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, analysis of nearly 1,700 videos finds that 6 out of 10 moderate-to-severe crashes with teen drivers are caused by a distraction—either friends or phones. The foundation calls it "the most comprehensive research ever" into distracted teen driving.
The campaign seeks to highlight the plight of children on the world’s roads; generate action to better ensure their safety; and promote the inclusion of safe and sustainable transport in the post-2015 development agenda.
The centrepiece of the #SaveKidsLives campaign, which was launched in November 2014, is a child declaration, developed with input from children around the world.
The campaign invites all road safety policy-makers and advocates to “sign it”, “show it”, and “deliver it” to those in charge of road safety in countries and communities during the Week.

The number of deaths linked to drunk passengers who wander off the platform and onto the tracks has steadily increased over the years. But a new study of these falls shows that many of them occur in the same way—and that there might be a few simple ways to prevent some of them.
V8 Supercars drivers Rick Kelly and Tim Blanchard visited Punchbowl Primary School today and shared some road safety tips as part of a V8 Supersafe Presentation.
Kelly and Blanchard made the trip to the Launceston primary school to highlight the importance of being a safe passenger ahead of the Easter long weekend.
The group of 120 students, in grades four to six, were also given an insight into being a racing car driver, and what it takes to drive door-to-door at 300km/h.
Drunken driving deaths are down, way down: Like 28 percent down since 2005. But distracted driving deaths are up. Like 650 percent up over the same period.
Of course, some of that can be explained because virtually no one had a smartphone 10 years ago. But the numbers are still startling.
Despite having some measure of self-respect, many of us here at Accident Data Center voluntarily place ourselves into the ownership of cats. If you, like us, are currently the property of a feline, please be aware that Easter lilies are extremely toxic to cats.
As a teen, probably the worst possible situation to be in is one in which you have to tell your friend to stop doing something. Distraction from friends has been all over the news lately as a huge factor in teen crashes, but as this video demonstrates, passengers are also in a position to encourage their friends to drive safely, daunting as the prospect may be.
