Unfortunately, motor vehicle accidents, car crashes, and motorcycle wrecks kill or seriously injure numerous children each year. Statistics show that approximately 1,800 children ages 14 and under are killed riding as passengers each year and more than 280,000 are injured.  More than half of the fatal car-truck crashes are a result of the drivers falling asleep at the wheel.  Tragically, more than one-quarter of these wrecks occur between the hours of 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. and many of these wrecks are caused by drunk or otherwise impaired drivers.  Speeding and other reckless behavior by the drivers of cars or trucks are the cause of numerous other fatal or serious car-truck crashes.
