Sarah
I'm doing a project for my drivers ed class and I need to find 7 news articles about car crashes that have happened since September 2010. I've checked the newspaper, washingtonpost.com, cnn.com, abc7.com and can't find any articles. I must be looking in the wrong spot. Thanks for all the answers in advance...
Answer
a small-town newspaper is more likely to cover car accidents than a big media outlet. also, try typing "crash" into news.google.com.

Answer
Lots and lots of accident info from the Census Bureau:
http://www.census.gov/compendia/statab/cats/transportation/motor_vehicle_accidents_and_fatalities.html
Tons of info from the NHTSA (click links at the top for driving safety, vehicle safety, research and data): http://www.nhtsa.gov/
Perform your own statistical analysis at the NHTSA "Fatality Analysis Reporting System:"
http://www-fars.nhtsa.dot.gov/Main
The IIHS has lots of info:http://www.iihs.org/
For example, why texting bans aren't working: http://www.iihs.org/news/rss/pr092810.html
And teenagers suck at driving (old people are actually safer):
http://www.iihs.org/research/fatality_facts_2008/teenagers.html
Of course, if you're going to talk about safety, you need to include distracted driving and why cell phones (hands-free OR hand-held) aren't safe to use:
http://www.distraction.gov/stats-and-facts/index.html
http://statehighwaysafety.org/html/publications/pdf/sfdist11.pdf
http://www.distraction.gov/research/PDF-Files/Passenger-Cellphone-Conversations.pdf
http://www.fnal.gov/pub/traffic_safety/files/NSC%20White%20Paper%20-%20Distracted%20Driving%203-10.pdf
That should give you something to do between now and lunch. If you need more, just let me know!
