WhereDaily News: Before You Hit the Road This Thanksgiving: Buckle Up America -- Every Trip, Every Time
KANSAS CITY, MO--(Marketwired - Nov 18, 2015) - Area traffic safety organizations are joining in a national effort to reach out to all Thanksgiving travelers with one important message: buckle up. Historically, Thanksgiving is the busiest travel time of the year, putting more people on the road; therefore, increasing the likelihood of crashes. Each year in our country, tens of thousands of passenger vehicle occupants die in motor vehicle crashes. In 2013, more than 300 people were killed in crashes on Thanksgiving weekend alone. It's a sad statistic, but even sadder is that many of those deaths could have been prevented with one simple click of a seat belt.
