PHOTO ADVISORY -- National Safety Council Launches 'Death by Cell Phone'
Billboards

Editors are advised that a high-resolution photo is available to accompany the
news release, DC33350, National Safety Council Launches 'Death by Cell Phone'
Billboards, issued earlier today by the National Safety Council.

Caption: The National Safety Council's "Death by Cell Phone" billboards appear
in 67 markets nationwide, reaching more than 1 million people daily. Sponsored
by Nationwide Insurance Co. and Lamar Advertising, the billboards feature two
people who were killed in crashes caused by drivers using cell phones. They
direct viewers to a Web site with a video that tells their stories
(deathbycellphone.org). Cell phone-using drivers are four times more likely to
be involved in personal injury crashes than other drivers.  (PRNewsFoto)
