Published

on

October 9 – 12, 2020 – The Warren County Sheriff’s Office will work with NHTSA for the Operation Crash Reduction effort, emphasizing the importance of seat belt safety. From 2014 to 2018, October was the most dangerous month on America’s roads. Before you put your car in drive, make sure you buckle up! Seat belts save lives, and they’re your best defense in a crash. Remember the Operation Crash Reduction effort this October holiday weekend, and every day. Help us spread the message: Buckle Up, America!

In 2018, there were 9,778 unrestrained passenger vehicle occupants killed in crashes in the United States, with some of the highest numbers of fatalities occurring in Delaware, the District of Columbia, Kentucky, Maryland, North Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia. From 2014 to 2018, October was the most dangerous month on Virginia’s roads, with a total of 367 traffic fatalities. Buckle Up, Virginia!
