A reported pattern links Connecticut teen-driver crashes with the times students travel to and from school.
Key takeaways
Connecticut teen-driver crashes have been reported as occurring more often around the times students travel to and from school. The pattern points to school arrival and dismissal periods as the relevant times for examining teen-driver crash data.
The claim does not establish how many crashes occurred, how much the number changed, which Connecticut communities were affected or what period the data covers. Those details are necessary to measure the increase and compare it with other times of day.
A complete account would identify the crash count, the time span studied and the locations included. It would also distinguish between crashes during morning arrival, afternoon dismissal and other travel periods.
Connecticut transportation and public-safety agencies may release records that identify the number and timing of teen-driver crashes. School districts and municipalities may also address traffic conditions during arrival and dismissal periods.
