Half of the people who died in a fatal traffic crash last Thanksgiving were not wearing a seat belt

Thanksgiving is one of the busiest travel times of the year, when millions of Americans hit the road to spend time with friends and family. But more vehicles on the road means potential for more crashes and more fatalities.

“Tragically, almost half of the people who died in a fatal traffic crash last Thanksgiving were not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash,” said Gordon Fox owner of 2Pass Defensive Driving School.
