Experts say Halloween has the highest number of pedestrian fatalities and motor vehicle crashes.
According to Yomy Castillo with the Arizona Department of Health Services' Injury Prevention, kids on foot are three times more likely to be killed by a motor vehicle on Halloween than any other day of the year.
"They're excited and so they might just dash into the street. So reminding them to stop in the corners, don’t run across the street. Make sure to teach, if you haven’t already, look left, right, left again before they start walking into the street," Castillo said.
Castillo also recommends children to wear face paint or makeup instead of masks that can obstruct their view.
