Not long ago I told you that advocates for the blind are concerned that hybrid cars may be so quiet that they pose a danger to blind pedestrians who cannot hear the cars approaching.
My friend Boyd Huppert at KARE-TV in Minneapolis recently covered the story of a young boy who didn't hear a hybrid car behind him and turned into the car's path. (
Watch the story.)
This is something to keep in mind as you cover accidents involving these cars, which are becoming more common.
