First responders, public safety, emergency services US-127

            Southbound after 8 p.m. on October 12, 2019 just north of East Lansing, Michigan the clouded, moonless inky night is lit up by warning lights of tow-trucks, police and ambulance responding to car accident, causing the traffic flow in both directions of the divided highway to slow down.

According to national statistics the biggest risk factor in the lives of most people in the USA (likely of all societies that are thoroughly overtaken by personal automobiles) is driving. Another factoid says that most accidents, big or small, will take place within 25 miles (40 km) of one's home; perhaps a function of the number of hours in that radius, or perhaps due to inattention on the routes taken repeatedly. In any case this video snapshot captures a scene that is not daily, but yet is not uncommon to see while motoring around the state. In the days when moving about was horse-powered or on rails, probably there were other elements of daily life that rose to the top of one's risk factors: disease and ineffective anti-biotics, cooking fires, and so on.
