Road safety speaker

John Westhaver

Topics: speed, impaired driving, distracted driving, dangerous driving, alternatives to get home safely

John Westhaver was a typical high school student, full of life and fun-loving. Then, a night of joy turned into a lifelong nightmare due to speeding and driver inexperience. The car crash claimed the lives of his three friends, leaving John with burns on 75% of his body and multiple broken bones.

While many in his situation might struggle to recover, John has transformed his pain into a powerful message of resilience and hope. He has dedicated himself to extensive personal growth, which allows him to share his story without traumatizing students and empowers them to make safer choices as drivers and passengers.
