Safe Driving Info
We at the Hayden Vint Foundation view safe driving with the utmost importance. This foundation was started in memory of Hayden Vint, who was killed crossing State Rd 19. Although we're unsure why he failed to stop or see the truck coming as he crossed 19, we believe it was caused by a distraction.
Due to failing to wear a seatbelt, he was ejected from the vehicle and killed instantly. Although the circumstances surrounding the accident are uncertain, we feel that if he was wearing his seatbelt, he would be here today.
​
We highly recommend learning about and practicing safe driving to help prevent these kinds of incidents.
