FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) Police in Fort Wayne will help kick off a statewide blitz this Friday in an effort to keep families safe during holiday travel.
Safe Family Travel is an annual enforcement effort that combines high-visibility seatbelt and impaired driving patrols. This year it runs from November 16 to December 2.
According to police, there were 476 alcohol-related collisions in Indiana in November of 2011, resulting in five fatalities. There were also 415 collisions in which drivers and passengers weren't buckled up. Those resulted in 12 fatalities.
The risk of fatal injury to front seat passenger car occupants is reduced by 45 percent, and the risk of moderate to serious injury is reduced by 50 percent, when seat beats are worn correctly, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
