Halloween can be one of the most dangerous times of the year for pedestrians and drivers. Not only are more people walking, especially at night, but drivers are also more likely to be distracted or even have impaired driving ability, putting themselves and others at risk.
“Halloween falls on a Thursday, so the festivities will likely begin early in the week and continue into the weekend,” said Adrian Woodland, AAA’s Michigan spokesperson. “We are asking motorists to be aware of pedestrians all week long, slow down in neighborhoods, and avoid distractions and impairments while driving to keep everyone safe.”
According to Safe Kids Worldwide, an international nonprofit organization that works to reduce unintentional injuries to children, children are 2 times more likely to be hit and killed by a car on Halloween than on any other day of the year. It is said to be more than twice as expensive.
