This is a release I got about a program that will be coming to Ontario in the new year:
Friday Night Live youth want their peers to make a new year's resolution they can live with: "Be safe - buckle up and don't drink and drive". Youth groups in Redlands, Victorville, San Bernardino and Ontario will be planning a traffic safety campaign in 2009 to increase seat belt use among their peers and educate the community on the dangers of underage drinking and driving. "Friday Night Live teaches leadership and advocacy skills to youth. The purpose of the campaign is to reduce injuries and fatalities among teen drivers and passengers", said Bernadette Beltran, Friday Night Live coordinator. Car crashes are the leading cause of injury and death among teens.
Speeding, not wearing a seat belt, and drinking and driving put teens at risk for serious injury and death. In 2007, 35 teens were killed and 1,765 were injured in car crashes in San Bernardino County of which 12% were not using seat belts at the time of the crash. A total of 158 car crashes occurred where the driver under 21 years of age had been drinking at the time of the crash resulting in 10 fatalities and 245 injuries.
This project is funded by a new grant of $18,800 from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the California Friday Night Live Partnership. For more information call the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health at (909) 387-6623.
