This weekend was filled with Indy 500 buzz as we witnessed the 100th anniversary of the greatest spectacle in racing. In the midst of this excitement it is important to keep into account the dangers associated with racing. On Saturday night race car driver William Mefford, 49, of Knightstown, Indiana was involved in a fatal crash at an Anderson, Indiana track. He had just passed another driver when the hood to his car flew up blocking all visibility and leading Mefford to crash into a corner barrier of the track. This marks the tragic end to a great career; Mefford had recently won the Late Model division at the Anderson track.

Mefford's loved ones need time to handle this tragedy on their own and should not have to deal with legal stresses or insurance matters.

Two young boys from Indianapolis were involved in a mini-bike accident that could end up affecting them for the rest of their lives. The two boys, aged 11 and 9, rode the miniature motorcycle straight into a tree. The two boys' names have not been released, but the 11 year-old driver is said to be suffering from only minor injuries and appears to be in the clear. Sadly, the same cannot be said of his younger passenger who is in critical condition at Riley Hospital for Children suffering from severe head injuries.

While families across the world celebrated Mother's Day on May 8, 2011, one mother will forever remember this as the day she lost her child and the father of her child at the hands of an inattentive, reckless driver. Jason Helmuth, 32, and his 4-year-old daughter Jayna were on a bike ride when they were struck from behind and killed by an undisclosed driver, according to LaGrange County Sheriff's Department. The accident occurred just outside the town of Shipshewana on what is described as a "rural road." The driver claims to have not seen the bike riders before impact, according to police.
