There were 47 unbuckled passenger deaths in Wyoming in 2019, as well as an observed seatbelt usage of only 78%, the lowest rate since 2015.
“Do you know someone who was killed in a crash because they did not use a seatbelt? Please, help us spread this life-saving message before one more friend or family member is killed because they didn’t buckle up,” Chief Dwane Pacheco said. “Seat belts save lives, and everyone front seat and back, child and adult should always buckle up, every trip, every time.”
