Speeding is blamed for causing more people to die on roads in the Hampton Roads area. A study this week from the city's Regional Transportation Planning Organization found that 70-percent of traffic deaths include distracted driving, alcohol use, safety belt use, and speeding. But the study found reckless speeding was the number one cause of death.
A sailor who died in the 1941 Pearl Harbor attack is finally laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery. Massachusetts native Frank Hryniewicz [[ Here-ne-vitz ]] was 20 years old when Japanese planes attacked the USS Oklahoma at the naval base in Hawaii. Hryniewicz was one of 400 sailors who died on the ship, and his remains went unidentified for more than 80 years until recent advances in forensic science were able to match his DNA with that of family members. On Thursday, Hryniewicz was buried with full military honors.
