Crash
While not all crashes are survivable, wearing seatbelts correctly can significantly reduce chances of severe injury, state police said. Ensure that the seatbelt is correctly positioned across hips, chest, and shoulders, and make sure that children are securely fastened in appropriate car seats.
These measures are crucial for arriving at your destination safely. Additionally, distracted and inattentive driving remains a leading cause of crashes in Louisiana.
Adhering to these simple precautions and following all traffic laws can significantly enhance road safety, according to a police statement.
