Nearly two thirds of people injured or killed in a crash involving a teen driver are people other than the teen behind the wheel. That according to a new report released by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. State AAA spokesperson Nick Jarmuscz says teen crash rates are higher than any other age group. Jarmuscz says the period between Memorial Day and Labor Day is when teen crash fatalities historically climb. While the overall number of teen crashes are down, the majority of people killed and injured in crashes involving a teen driver are people other than the teen themselves. Nearly 50 percent of those injured were in another vehicle, 17 percent were in the teen driver’s car. Nearly 30 percent of those killed were in another car, 27 percent were the teen’s passenger.
