During 2007, more than 14,000 people in passenger vehicles died in crashes while unbelted. About half of these lives could have been saved if they had been wearing seat belts at the time of the crash. As sad as this statistic is, the numbers are even worse at night than during the day, according to new figures release by the National Highway Traffic safety Administration.
That is why the Tulsa Police Department is joining state and local law enforcement agencies and highway safety groups in supporting an aggressive national Click It or Ticket seat belt enforcement campaign from May 18 through May 31. Police will be ticketing unbelted vehicle occupants around the clock--night and day.
Join us at a press conference to announce our efforts on Thursday May 14, 2009 – 1000 AM at Tulsa Raceway Park, 3101 N. Garnett Rd. in Tulsa. (Off of Highway 169 between Pine and 36th Street North)
