It Only Takes A Second.
Distracted Driving Isn’t Worth the Risk
Molly Welch, founder of the non-profit organization, A Second Later, has dedicated her life to ending distracted driving. Her mission is to bring awareness to the dangers and realities of distracted driving.
In 2008 while traveling down the highway close to Auburn University, Molly briefly looked away from the road and wound up in a head-on collision. She sustained a traumatic brain injury, and to this day has no use of her right arm, limited use of her right leg, and a softer voice. Since her accident, she has worked tirelessly to help others avoid such a fate.
