JEFFERSON CITY, MO – Nearly 1,800 first responders across Missouri will attend training in February and early March on the safest way to respond to crashes involving hybrid electric vehicles and vehicles with advanced airbag systems, according to the Web site www.moberlymonitor.com. The Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety is sponsoring the training.
