Halloween night is one of the most dangerous nights of the year for pedestrians, especially children.
In Oklahoma, pedestrian accidents spike dramatically on October 31. Here is what every Tulsa family and driver needs to know.
For drivers:
- Slow down in residential neighborhoods, especially between 5pm and 9pm
- Watch for children darting between parked cars and crossing mid-block
- Eliminate distractions completely. One second of inattention can be catastrophic
- Watch for dark costumes that are nearly invisible at night
For families:
- Add reflective tape or glow sticks to costumes
- Carry a flashlight
- Cross only at corners and crosswalks
- Accompany young children at all times
If a driver hits a child or pedestrian on Halloween because they were speeding, distracted, or impaired, they are fully liable for those injuries.
