    TxDOT campaign urges seat belt use to save lives on East Texas roads

    Lindale resident Caden Simmons intentionally fastens his seat belt every time he gets into a vehicle and reminds others to do the same. Wearing a seat belt is what he said saved his life when he was in a car crash about two months ago.

    “I could have died if I wasn’t wearing a seat belt,” Simmons said. “And just taking that literal three seconds to put it on, saved my life and saved my family from the hardship of not having me anymore.”
