Nut Graph: Today in Washington, D.C. the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety states that there are more advantages of driving a larger car rather than driving a smaller two door car despite the gas difference. Driving a larger car assures that the driver and the passengers will be more protected in dangerous situations such as a possible car wreck. Studies show that there are fewer injuries that happen in a wreck with bigger cars than there are with smaller cars. The bigger the car the better the safety!

3.      Lead: children can possibly face major danger for eating Americas all time favorite barbecue food, the hot dog!

Nut Graph: The Journal of the American Medical Association featured and article that shows that children are at risk when eating hot dogs and every five days someone in the U.S. chokes to death from eating one. Hot dogs are so dangerous that they every five days, it is estimated that someone in the United States chokes on a hotdog. Children under the age of four should never be given a whole hot dog to eat because of the possible risks. It is now clear that hot dogs really aren’t so “hot.”

4.      Lead: Examiners realized a month-old unclaimed corpse was buried at 51 year old Kristine Belcuors, funeral instead of her own body which left her family stricken with grief.

Nut Graph: 51 year old Kristine Belcuors died of heart attack last week. Her funeral costed 7,000 dollars with more than 100 friends and family in attendance. But sadly during the funeral her family noticed that laid in her coffin was a one month old unknown corpse inside of her coffin. Her family was devastated by the news knowing how much effort was put into her funeral ceremony. According to the medical examiners, there was an error in reading the tags of the corpses which led to the confusion of the two bodies. I guess people have to keep better track of their dead bodies.
