Winn High School on Friday, August 30.

The event's guest speaker was Tyson Dever, an advocate against distracted driving.

Dever was involved in a distracted driving accident that left him paralyzed.

Months before his 22nd birthday, Tyson was waiting to turn left onto a residential road when a fully-loaded cement mixer, driven by a distracted driver, changed his life forever. The wreck would leave him paralyzed from the waist down but has yet to hold him back. After shocking his medical team with his progress, he was back at school within months, finishing his degree at Texas State

University. From there he went on to become a full-time varsity coach and teacher, the fulfillment of a lifelong dream.

Today, Tyson lives independently, drives, fishes from his own bass boat, hunts using a rugged track chair and shares his message with audiences across the nation.

The lessons he learned along the way about attitude, determination and grit combine to create an engaging and funny presentation that will show you how to overcome adversity, better equip yourself to chase your dreams and never (ever) give up.

Teens in the Driver Seat's mission is to save lives and reduce car crash injuries among America's youth. The Teens in the Driver Seat initiative activates, empowers and motivates youth to change the safety culture in their schools and communities in a positive way.

TDS was founded on the premise (and research) that young people are significantly influenced by their peers.

TDS supports schools to raise awareness about driving dangers — distractions, impairment, speeding, lack of seat belt use, and drowsiness — to promote positive behavioral change.

TDS started at one high school in San Antonio. Today, they have reached over 1,300 high schools and junior highs in 38 states, impacting over 1.3 million students including in Eagle Pass.
