Kids and Cars | Car Accidents

KIDS AND CARS' mission is to assure that no child dies or is injured in a non-traffic, motor vehicle related event.

It is difficult to think of anything more tragic than the needless, preventable, death of a child. Every one of these deaths is a tragedy, especially to family and friends; and each one serves as a powerful warning that other children are at risk.

In the US fifty children are being backed over by vehicles EVERY week. Forty-eight are treated in hospital emergency rooms and at least two children are fatally injured every WEEK. These unthinkable tragedies are happening most often in the driveway of the child’s home and in 70% of the incidents the driver of the vehicle is their parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle or older sibling.’
