#HeatStrokeKills
Tragically, in the United States, every 10 days a child dies as a result of vehicular heatstroke. Since 1998, there have been 761 deaths, 18 of which happened this year. The worst part? These deaths were 100% preventable. Education is the first step in prevention, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is leading the charge.
Heatstroke Prevention Day is July 31, and NHTSA will tweet from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET about the dangers of heatstroke and sharing prevention tips.
