Honda is investigating a possible airbag defect in its 2008 Honda Accords after nearly a dozen drivers have complained that their side airbags have deployed for no reason.

A 26 year-old Georgia man was driving on Interstate 85 driving at least 60-65 mph when he says his side airbags exploded, blocking his entire left-side view and causing him to lose his hearing for the day. He luckily was able to exit the freeway and pull over safely. However, his vehicle shows no signs of side impact.

At this time, Honda does not plan on issuing a recall. The automaker states they are investigating the Georgia man’s car, but no formal investigation is underway. Honda and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has not found a common connection between the dozen complaints involving the airbags.

Randy Hopper, a former Republican Wisconsin state senator, was arrested early Sunday evening in Peebles for driving while intoxicated. Hopper was with his 26 year-old girlfriend at the time.

Police officers administered field sobriety tests after the driver refused to take a breath test. He failed the sobriety tests and was taken to the Fond du Lac County Jail where a preliminary breathalyzer test revealed his blood alcohol level was over the 0.08 legal limit. Hopper was released early Monday morning.

A new study conducted by Statefarm Insurance has revealed that car-deer collisions are declining across the country. Wisconsin currently ranks seventh for the most deer-related car accidents. The study states there is a one in 97 chance of hitting a deer on Wisconsin roads.

Compared to last year, car-deer accidents have gone down by 1% despite 37 reports of crashes in September. Accidents of this nature increase more during the fall months because white tailed deer begin to mate and migrate. October is the second most dangerous month for car-deer collisions and November is the most dangerous month.

Law enforcement suggest using your vehicle’s brights when driving at night and paying close attention to roadside ditches.
