Louisiana Unrestrained Car Crashes 

Seat belt use has the potential to save lives. In 2017, 14,955 people’s lives were saved due to using a seatbelt. However, many people still choose to travel in vehicles unrestrained. 

Over 10 percent of the population does not use a seatbelt when traveling in a car. This can cause severe injuries in the event of a crash. Sadly, in serious cases, crashes can result in the death of unrestrained passengers.
