Blue Line Solutions Joins ZeroNow to Advance Its Mission to Keep Schools Safe
Blue Line Solutions has joined ZeroNow because they share a commitment to stopping tragedies before they happen. "My first experience with a traffic fatality was haunting and unforgettable," Blue Line Founder Mark Hutchinson recalled. "A boy named Matthew, just 10 years old, was unbelted in the back seat of a car being driven by his father, who was legally drunk. When I arrived at the scene, I worked to keep Matthew alive as long as I could – but he died in my arms before the paramedics reached us. I had vivid dreams about Matthew for months. Every detail, over and over. I knew that his death could have been prevented."
