Now in its 13th year, National Teen Driver Safety Week is dedicated to raising awareness and seeking solutions to prevent teen injuries and deaths on the road. Southbury Police say this grassroots movement is about addressing the number one cause of death for teens in the U.S. – car crashes. According to the UConn Crash Data Repository, the number of teen-related fatal crashes in the first six months of 2020 has more than doubled when compared with the same time frame for 2019.
