Overnight Briefing & General Reality Check - May 24, 2019

Another day, another selfie death: In Oregon, a 21-year-old girl was seriously injured when she slipped and fell about 100 feet while taking pictures at Neahkahnie Mountain, a scenic coastal viewpoint along Highway 101. MICHELLE CASEY's boyfriend says she landed in a tree, which kept her from falling all the way into the Pacific Ocean. She had to be rescued using a rope team, which took a couple of hours, and then was taken to a hospital, but died later from her injuries.

Taco Bell is bringing back its "Steal a Game, Steal a Taco" promotion for the NBA Finals --whoever wins the NBA East. Here's how it works (if you've forgotten) --if the visiting team wins the game, by "stealing" it from the home team, then everybody in America is eligible for one free Doritos Locos Taco on Tuesday, June 18 from 2 pm to 6 pm (local time). Hence, "Steal a Game, Steal a Taco."
The 2019 NBA Finals start on Thursday, May 30 and could run through a possible Game 7 on June 16, 2019. And SOMEBODY has dropped a home game in every NBA Finals since 1955... back when the Syracuse Nationals beat the Fort Wayne Pistons in seven.

General Motors is beginning to act like your mother.
In some of the new, 2020 editions of their cars, the company will add a new device that locks the transmission in park until the driver has his or her seatbelt fastened. GM calls it "Buckle to Drive," and it's supposed to help remind new (i.e., younger) drivers to buckle up for safety. And for you parents who NEED to know where your son or daughter has been going on their night out, new cars now also have a "Teen Driver" system that tracks vehicle speed, location, and driving style and provides a report to the driver's parent or guardian.
The feature will be standard equipment on new models of the Chevrolet Traverse, Malibu, Colorado, and the GMC Canyon. The company says their other Chevy and GMC cars should get it in the future as well.
FYI: In case you were wondering, teen drivers have one of the lowest rates of seatbelt use. In 2016, the latest year in which stats are available, nearly 293-thousand teens were hospitalized for injuries they picked up in car accidents, and 2433 died as a result of those injuries.
