Life and death seems to be a recurring theme this weekend. Roane County had several local traffic fatalities, but this one has a lesson.
"The seatbelts, I see it everyday, they save lives," Lt. Andrew Murray with the East Roane County Fire Department said. "This subject probably would have been in the vehicle and possibly lived if he would have had his seatbelt on because there wasn't a whole lot of damage to the cab of the vehicle."
