Here are some of the traffic crashes that
have occurred in our county. Don't become a statistic. Please Buckle Up!
In
1998, 30 percent of all traffic fatalities occurred in crashes in which at
least one drive or non-occupant had a blood alcohol concentration of
0.10 grams per deciliter or greater.
From 1988 to 1998, intoxication
rates decreased for drivers of all age groups involved in fatal crashes.
Speeding - exceeding the posted
speed limit, driving too fast for conditions, or racing - is one of the
most prevalent factors contributing to traffic crashes.
The
economic cost of speeding-related crashes is estimated to be $27.7 billion
each year.
