Pedestrian injuries are the fifth leading cause of death in the United States for children ages 5 to 19. Teenagers are at greatest risk with a death rate twice that of younger children. Teenagers now account for half of all child pedestrian deaths. Distractions such as headphones, other teenagers and daydreaming can all be fatal to pedestrians.
Set a good example by putting down your own devices when you are driving or walking around cars. If we show them by example they will more likely do the same.
