Summer driving safety awareness

STROUD TOWNSHIP, MONROE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — The time from Memorial Day to Labor Day is named the 100 deadliest days as there is a sharp increase in fatal vehicle crashes, especially involving teenagers, according to AAA. Mike Stettler with the Stroud Township Volunteer Fire Department talked about the influx of drivers in the Poconos. “Typically, the higher volume of high traffic in the summer leads to more people, especially people out of town. We’re a big vacation destination so you have issues with people not knowing how to go from one place to another.” Nationwide, more than 7,400 people died in teen driver-related summertime crashes from 2013 to 2022. Stettler says safety on the roads is important not just for teens, but all drivers.
