Extra Seat Belt Patrols Unite to Recognize Teen Crash Survivor
(ABC 6 News) -- You’ve heard it over and over again, and Monday more than 30 law enforcement agencies from across southern Minnesota gave "click it, or ticket," a whole new meaning. From Faribault to Caledonia, law enforcement from 11 southeast Minnesota counties united to send a clear message about seat belt use.
The numbers don't lie, traffic crashes are the leading cause of death for teenagers. To help drive that message home, they introduced a woman who wouldn't be here today, had she not been wearing a seatbelt.
"When the car stopped, the seatbelt was like pushing me up against the seat, so I just know that my seatbelt kept me where I was," said crash survivor Dani Fiebelkorn. She rolled her car 7 months ago and credits her seat belt for that second chance. "I was wearing my seat belt and without it I probably would have died," she said.
