  1. CHARLES PARISHโ€”In 2020, 10,674 unbuckled passenger vehicle occupants were killed in crashes in the United States. This was a 14% increase from 2019. An early study from January โ€“ June 2021 estimates an increase of about 18.4% of people who died from traffic accidents in the United States. Thatโ€™s the largest number of projected fatalities in that time period since 2006.

The St. Charles Parish Sheriffโ€™s Office will be partnering with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for the โ€œBuckle-Up in Your Truckโ€ campaign which will span from April 22 until April 29. This campaign will target drivers operating vehicles without seatbelts in an effort to bring awareness and save lives.

Reminder – Wear your seat belt every time โ€“ no matter how uncomfortable it feels or how far youโ€™re going.
