The Fond du Lac Fire chief says seatbelts may have prevented more serious injuries or worse in a series of automobile crashes in Fond du Lac this week.  Fond du Lac rescue personnel responded to four crashes Monday afternoon, including a rollover, car versus building and rear end collision.  Fire chief Pete O’Leary says he can’t remember that many crashes in such a short period of time.  “Its unprecedented,”  O’Leary told WFDL news.  O’Leary says its fortunate that nobody was seriously hurt. “Theres a common thread in all the crashes that all the injuries were minor and I think a lot of that has to do with people wearing seatbelts.”
