College Students And Car Accidents

Recent data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) show that motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for young people, 15 to 20 years of age, and that the severity of traffic crashes and injuries increases with alcohol involvement. Whether you attend University of Michigan, Eastern Michigan University, Washtenaw Community College, Jackson Community College, or any other Michigan College, the campus setting presents a dangerous mix of increased auto accident risk factors such as:

  • Higher pedestrian volumes on the streets and sidewalks
  • Greater use of bicycles and skateboards
  • High use of headphones among pedestrians and bicyclists
  • Text messaging while walking, biking and driving (distracted driving)
  • The prevalence and availability of drugs and alcohol

The risk is even greater for freshmen in a new and unfamiliar city.
