A truly tragic accident
A promising young rugby player was killed when he lost control of his car and crashed head-on into a tree.
"At least two of the passengers felt that the car comes up on its suspension and felt slightly lighter. None of the people who were in the car could recall exactly what happened because I think the incident was upon them so quickly." PC Hilton tried to replicate the incident by driving along the road himself. He said that, even at 40mph, he felt his police vehicle lift off the ground.
Furthermore, we must also contemplate the enormity of lost potential of such a promising young man, and use this tragedy to remind ourselves to appreciate those around us and to not take any aspect of life for granted. The club extends our heart felt condolences to Zak's loved ones. We anticipate that his peers will have little or no experience of such loss.

Investigating Cardiovascular Activation of Young Adults in Routine DrivingWe report on a naturalistic study investigating the effects of routine driving on cardiovascular activation. We recruited 21 healthy young adults from a broad geographic area in the Southwestern United States. Using the participants' own smartphones and smartwatches, we monitored for a week both their driving and non-driving activities. Monitoring included the continuous recording of a) heart rate throughout the day, b) hand motion during driving as a proxy of persistent texting, and c) contextualized driving data, complete with traffic and weather information. These high temporal resolution variables were complemented with the drivers' biographic and psychometric profiles. Our analysis suggests that anxiety predisposition and high speeds are associated with significant cardiovascular activation on drivers, likely linked to sympathetic arousal. Surprisingly, these associations hold true under good weather, normal traffic, and with experienced drivers behind the wheel. The said findings call for attention to insidious effects of apparently benign drives even for people in their prime. Accordingly, our research contributes to intriguing new discourses on driving affect and personal health informatics.
