MADISON, Wis. – Many traditional Halloween celebrations are back this year, which means it’s a great time to brush up on trick-or-treating safety.
Local health experts believe being outdoors in small groups is a safe way for children to resume a traditional Halloween night.
But it’s important to stay aware.
“Kids are more than twice as likely to get hit by a car and killed on Halloween night,” UW Health Kids’ Rishelle Eithun said. “We need to be more mindful.”
It’s important to slow down and be alert if driving on Halloween night.
Trick-or-treaters should carry glowsticks or flashlights, and cross the street at crosswalks.
Parents should accompany children under the age of 12.
