Careful, partyers, New Year's is the most deadly day for pedestrians
12/31/2012With 2013 shortly upon us, it's time to start thinking about those New Year's resolutions. Here's one: Don't get hit by a car while crossing the street.

Unsurprisingly, most of the deaths happen between midnight and 6 a.m. as revelers dash from event to event. The good news is that New Year's falls on a Tuesday this year — the day of the week with the lowest rate of car crash deaths. [Source]
