ST. LOUIS — It's a surreal statistic, but in just three years' time, 418 people in Missouri have lost their life due to a crash involving a teenage driver — equating to an alarming 12% of total traffic fatalities since 2015.

Because of the number of otherwise preventable deaths, nonprofit Drive for Tomorrow has chosen to do something rather than sit pat. The Save a Life Tour, a six-hour high impact, anti-texting, anti-impaired and distracted driving program, is a no-nonsense video presentation, mixed with a multi-million dollar driving experience built to help save lives.

The program has been been endorsed by high schools and colleges across the country, several insurance companies and hospitals, and the United States Navy, Marines, Air Force and Army. That tour is now headed to seven high schools across the area.
