Richmond, Va. Ranked Among Ten Deadliest Cities for Teen Auto Crashes

On December 29, 2008, Allstate Insurance Company released study results identifying the ten deadliest hotsots for teen drivers on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.  The study focused on the 50 largest metropolitan areas and retrospectively reviewed data from the past eight years.  The deadliest hotspots for fatal automobile crashes involving teen drivers over the New Year's holiday are:
    
  • Jacksonville, Fla.
  • Columbus, Ohio
  • Richmond, Va.
  • Birmingham, Ala.
  • Orlando
  • Phoenix
  • Las Vegas
  • Philadelphia
  • Sacramento, Calif.
  • St. Louis
  • According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, car crashes are the number one killer of American teenagers, causing more than 5,000 teen deaths every year.  Teen drivers lack experience behind the wheel.  This lack of experience combined with drinking at a New Year's party, texting or talking on the cell phone while driving, or both is often fatal.

    Butler Williams is a proud sponsor of MADD Virginia.  Parents of teens should contact MADD to learn more about educating teen drivers about the danger of drinking and driving.
