DMV Worker Killed Giving Driving Test
There is some element of danger in just about every job. As someone who is currently trying to help a teenager learn to drive, I can really appreciate the professionals who teach driving for a living. I can also appreciate the Department of Motor Vehicles workers that have to administer the driving test to these novice drivers. Sometimes the job can take a very deadly turn.
This is just tragic. The driving instructor was a passenger in a car driven by a 36 year old woman who was trying to earn her license. The instructor, Shirley Martin, was killed when the novice driver lost control of the vehicle,hit a tree and flipped over. Martin, was airlifted to a nearby hospital where she later sucummed to her injuries. The driver was also injured
