Continuing coverage: String of fatal crashes puts new emphasis on driver safety
A string of severe crashes across the valley is prompting a new push for driver safety.
Police say a 70-year-old man died Monday morning after running a stop sign near Sunset and Cimarron in the southwest valley.
Just hours later, police say an impaired driver ran a red light near Cimarron and Charleston and injured four people.
Those crashes come after at least three fatal crashes happened over the weekend.
Advocates are now urging everyone to be more aware behind the wheel, especially when it comes to our youngest drivers.
