As part of a regional initiative aimed at encouraging seat belt use to save lives and preventing serious injuries due to traffic crashes, law enforcement throughout Kentucky will conduct a high-visibility enforcement campaign, called Operation Crash Reduction, October 11th through the 14th. Since 2011, October has been the highest month for fatal crashes in the United States. In our region, approximately half of vehicle occupants killed in these crashes were unrestrained. Since 2011, more roadway deaths have occurred on Columbus Day weekend than during the holiday periods of Thanksgiving or Memorial Day. For more information, visit nhtsa.gov/risky-driving/seat-belts
