UNDATED (KDAL) – According to the Minnesota AAA, Halloween is often one of the most dangerous nights of the year for both pedestrians and drivers.
Since the holiday falls on a Friday this year, the risks are even greater. The mix of increased foot traffic from trick-or-treaters and more weekend Halloween parties leading to a greater likelihood of impaired driving is a dangerous combination.
To stay safe, trick-or-treaters should avoid dark costumes and those that restrict vision, use crosswalks when crossing streets and make sure the kids watch for vehicles.
Drivers are urged to slow down, watch for kids in the road, focus on driving, buckle up and don’t drive impaired.
