Hi, have you ever been in a traffic collision by colliding with another car, a person, an animal, or anything?
I hit a bird one time while driving 70 mph. 
Whoa! I hope you weren't hurt.  I actually lost an arm in a crash when I was a teenager. The driver was under the influence, which is obviously a huge contributor to crashes.
Oh wow. That would be scary.  Do you get a fear when riding in cars now?
Kind of. There are so many different things that create risks, with people driving too fast, how roads are designed, and things like that. I'm just very conscious of those things.
So it sounds like it made you a better driver.  Have you ever hit anything?
No, I never have hit anything or anyone, thankfully. Would you believe there were 1.4 million deaths from car crashes in 2013?
In the world or the United States? That's a lot of people dying!
The world!  It is crazy, right? That's up from 1.1 million in 1990, which is sort of surprising considering how much safer cars have gotten
That is crazy. Are there more cars on the road now?
