Kim Clark is a Steuben County Sheriff’s Department Dispatcher, who goes around to schools all over the state, telling students about the dangers of distracted and impaired driving. Kim’s daughter Emilee was killed in July of 2019 in a car crash in Steuben County. “There were six things that led to that accident. One, the driver was unfamiliar with the vehicle. Two, there was loud music in the vehicle, three, Emilee was unrestrained in the vehicle (no seatbelt), four, the driver had only had a license for about three months, five it was a foggy summer night, and six, making poor decisions (Emilee had been drinking earlier in the evening.)” Kim Clark goes on to say that her daughter was ejected from the vehicle when the driver redirected the wheel. “The vehicle went into a ditch and Emilee was thrust out of the vehicle and hit a tree.” Kim Clark is available to speak at schools about this. Call her at 607 622 3911 for more information.
