Don't turn into a july 4 highway statistic

(HealthDay)—The National Safety Council has a sobering forecast for this Fourth of July.

It estimates that 18,600 people could be seriously injured on U.S. roads and 164 could be killed—nearly 4 percent more than the number of deaths (157) that occurred in 2012, the last time July 4 fell on Wednesday.

"Independence Day should be about spending time with loved ones and watching fireworks, not about dealing with the tragic aftermath of a car crash," said council president Deborah Hersman, said in a news release.
