ECU Health speaks on 100 deadliest days
GREENVILLE, N.C. (WNCT) — Experts say the 100-day stretch between Memorial Day and Labor Day is some of the deadliest on the roads, especially for teenagers. ECU Health says because teenagers are out of school, they're out and about on the roads enjoying their summer with Eastern Carolina Injury Prevention Program's Teen Safe Driving Program goes out into the community to educate teens and raise awareness. 'We work with schools across the district. Typically, we focus on three counties every year. So for this year, we are in Onslow County, Wayne County, and Pitt County, and we are bringing in prevention education through lunchtime, interactive tables. We do driver's ed classes, and we just really try to let teens know that being distracted on the road is deadly. So focus as much as you can,' said D'Nise Williams, the Injury Prevention Coordinator for the Teen Safe Driving Program at ECU Health. According to NCDOT data, there were almost 7,000 crashes within this timeframe in 2023. 'We're seeing that the increase is still happening during those hundred deadliest days. So really making sure we're doing a lot of targeted education,' Williams said. This education is important not only for teens, but for all drivers. 'Part of driving is the critical thinking. You have to anticipate what other cars are doing as well as what's going on in your own car. And for teen brains, they're not fully developed yet, so that makes it extra hard for them,' Williams said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
