(bolded sections updated for this blitz) May 23 - June 5, 2011 + Last year in Oregon passenger vehicle crashes, one third of children injured under age eight (28%) were not using child seats or boosters and half of all vehicle occupants killed (44%) were not using appropriate safety restraints, Those most at risk of dying unrestrained are younger males. + Recent National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) research suggests that most of Oregon's unbuckled fatalities occur on weekday afternoons and between the hours of 6 pm - 6am on ‘weekends.
