University of Alabama researchers say traffic accidents on Independence Day in Alabama are usually more severe and deadly than crashes on the days before and after the holiday.
The conclusion was based on an analysis of state traffic records by UA researchers over the past five years.
“Often the only difference between a severe injury and a fatality crash is a few miles per hour in speed and whether the occupants are buckled up,” said David Brown, a researcher with the Center for Advanced Public Safety, who led the study. “The high percentage of severe injuries and fatalities establishes that the crashes occurring on the Fourth of July, while fewer in number, tend to be significantly more severe.”
