Bill Summary
Commending Brad Hughes.
AI Summary
This resolution commends Brad Hughes, a special deputy with the Powhatan County Sheriff's Office, for his tireless efforts to improve road safety by raising awareness about the dangers of distracted driving. After sustaining severe injuries, including the amputation of both legs, when he was struck by a distracted driver while assisting victims of a 17-car pile-up during an ice storm, Hughes dedicated himself to preventing similar tragedies. He now regularly shares his story and the risks of distracted driving with over 40,000 students and community groups, earning him significant recognition for his public safety advocacy, including several prestigious awards. The resolution directs the Clerk of the House of Delegates to present a copy of this commendation to Mr. Hughes as a testament to his courage and commitment to public safety.
