Cellcontrol and Ohio Mutual Announce Partnership to Stop Distracted Driving
August 18, 2016 – Cellcontrol is proud to announce today a new strategic partnership with Ohio Mutual Insurance Group to help put an end to distracted driving on the nation’s roadways. In response to the unprecedented rise in auto accidents in the U.S., Ohio Mutual is joining forces with Cellcontrol to empower the company’s agent partners to educate their clients on the dangers of distracted driving, and how Cellcontrol’s award-winning safe driving solution can prevent it. Distracted driving causes wrecks that kill eight people and injure over 1,100 more each day in the United States alone. Car crashes are also the number one killer of teenagers between 16-19 years of age.
“The safety of our policy holders and our community has always been of the utmost importance to Ohio Mutual associates and agent partners,” said Ohio Mutual President and CEO Mark C. Russell. “We see the consequences of distracted driving on the news, on our roads, and in our claims department nearly every day,” he said. “Through this partnership, our goal is to provide our agent partners education and tools like Cellcontrol so they can work with our policyholders to prevent accidents before they happen,” Russell said.
“We are thrilled to have a partner in Ohio Mutual who shares our passion for and commitment to driver safety,” said Cellcontrol CEO Robert Guba. “Our relationship enables us to further our goal of putting an end to distracted driving and help people become better drivers in the process,” Guba said.
