Decatur County Traffic Safety Partnership to Increase Patrols to Target Seatbelt Enforcement

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEMay 12, 2026

Decatur County Traffic Safety Partnership (TSP) is partnering with the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI) to urge Hoosiers to buckle up as part of the national “Click It or Ticket” campaign, a high-visibility enforcement effort focused on increasing seatbelt use.

Beginning May 11 through May 31, 2026, officers will work overtime to ensure drivers and passengers are using their seatbelts and children are properly secured. The overtime patrols are funded by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) through ICJI’s Comprehensive Highway Injury Reduction Program (CHIRP).

“Buckling up is one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect yourself and your loved ones on the road,” said Douglas Huntsinger, executive director of the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute. “Seatbelts save lives every day, and every trip should begin with making sure everyone is secured before hitting the road.”

Since 2021, Indiana has seen a steady decline in fatalities among passenger vehicle occupants who are not wearing seatbelts. Seatbelt usage among Hoosiers has also increased, reaching 94.1% in 2025 according to the Annual Seat Belt Usage Survey conducted by Purdue University Center for Road Safety in partnership with ICJI. This rate is above the national average of 91.2% usage in 2024.
“Too often, we see tragedies that could have been prevented with one simple click of a seatbelt,” said Chief Deputy Eric Blodgett. “Buckling up isn’t just the law. It’s a responsibility that helps ensure you make it home safely.”

Indiana law requires drivers and all passengers to buckle up. Children under age eight must be properly restrained in a federally approved child car seat or booster seat. Drivers can be cited for lack of seat belt use, but also for each unbuckled passenger under the age of 16.

Parents and caregivers are encouraged to make sure children are in the right car seat and that it is used correctly and properly installed. Resources can be found at www.nhtsa.gov/TheRightSeat. To schedule an appointment with a certified car seat safety technician at one of Indiana’s 100 fitting stations, visit on.in.gov/SafeKids.

CHIRP is supported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and administered by the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute. For more information about ICJI’s traffic safety programs, visit www.in.gov/cji.

For Immediate Release - Crash with injury

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

April 13, 2026

On Sunday, April 12, 2026 at approximately 10 ;14 pm, Decatur County Communications was advised of a crash with injuries in the area of 2800 N. St. Rd. 3, Greensburg.

Upon arrival of deputies of the Decatur County Sheriff’s Department, evidence indicates a 2008 Chevrolet passenger car was traveling south on St. Rd. 3 when it crossed the center line and struck a utility pole on the east side of St. Rd. 3. The impact of the vehicle into the utility pole caused the vehicle to spin around and come to a rest facing north. The vehicle sustained significant damage and caught fire, which was quickly extinguished by arriving first responders. The crash also caused electrical service to be disrupted in the area.

The driver of the vehicle, identified as Emily Nicole Howard, 35 years of age, from Laurel, IN, was entrapped in the vehicle and had to be removed by staff of the Greensburg Fire Department. Ms. Howard was subsequently flown by Lifeline helicopter to an Indianapolis hospital.

The investigation into this crash is continuing.
