Halloween ranks as the third-deadliest day overall for pedestrians,
according to the NHTSA analysis, which examined a quarter-century’s
worth of data to determine the most dangerous days. The study found 715
pedestrian
deaths from vehicles that occurred on Oct. 31 between
1978 and 2002. Halloween trails only December 23 (753 deaths) and
January 1 (751 deaths) for the dubious title of most dangerous day on
the calendar for vehicle accidents.
