Almost 700 children die annually from motor vehicle related pedestrian accidents, and it is the second leading cause of death for children between the ages of 5 and 14. The high mortality figures are a result of a child’s inability to adequately judge traffic situations, leading to bad decisions on the part of the children.
This video explains why there are so many child pedestrian accidents and how we can put forth an effort to quell these high numbers. It is our job as adults to lead by example and show children ways to deal with traffic situations and maintain safety. Safe Kids Walk This Way in conjunction with law enforcement is making an effort to educate kids as well as ensure safe driving habits in adults. Remember to slow down in areas where children are present for the safety of our future generations.
