Allstate sorry for zodiac driver predictions

CHICAGO

For entertainment purposes only, Allstate insurance released which zodiac signs were the safest and which were the worst drivers.

It was supposed to be light-hearted look at a link between car accidents and astrology. But the Chicago Tribune reports it has turned into a public relations nightmare and the company has apologized.

The study rated Virgos the worst drivers. Scorpios were the safest last year with the fewest car accidents.
