Event: National Child Heatstroke Prevention
Date: May 27 – August 11, 2019
Organization: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)

Heatstroke is the leading cause of vehicular non-crash-related deaths for children under 14. In fact, each year, an average of 38 children have died from heatstroke since 1998. Yet, this tragedy is 100% preventable.

While it seems like an impossible mistake to make, every parent or caregiver can potentially become distracted, and distractions often fuel this devastating situation. No one is immune. 

We each have a role to play to help keep our kids safe. Help NHTSA share life-saving tips and resources with as many people as we can. Take Action. Act Fast. Save a Life.

$22.5 million dollars: Did you know that was the economic cost of crashes involving people hit while walking along or across Canyon County roads in 2017? That’s a huge economic toll for people just trying to get somewhere safely.
