From Memorial Day through Labor Day, traffic fatalities across the country increase dramatically — especially among teen drivers. With school out, more vehicles on the road, vacations, distractions, speeding, impaired driving, and lack of seatbelt use all contribute to this dangerous time of year.
The Anderson County Office of the Coroner urges everyone to make safety a priority this summer:
🚗 Buckle your seatbelt
📵 Put the phone down while driving
🚫 Never drive impaired
⚠️ Slow down and stay alert
👀 Watch for motorcycles, pedestrians, and children at play
One poor decision can change lives forever.
Help us make this summer safe for everyone. Protect yourself, your family, and others on the road.
