Story Behind the Curve

Fatalities of unrestrained occupants in a passenger vehicle are representative of the consequences of unsafe choices made while driving. Despite state efforts to encourage seat belt use, fatalities of occupants without seatbelts has been steadily on the rise and represents a dangerous trend in safety on the road.
