HOOPESTON – Rick Payne has developed a safety tool that he hopes no one will ever have to use.
He is also hoping success in sales and distribution will bring production jobs to the Hoopeston area.
Payne's Breakout Safety Tool is designed to cut seat belts and break out windows, in the case of an extreme emergency, for a passenger to be able to get out of a vehicle.
