Preschool accidents remain leading cause of death for ages one to four
A Metropolitan Life bulletin shows accidents kill more preschoolers than congenital issues. In 1979 over 3,300 fatalities and widespread injuries plagued ages one to four, with motor vehicle, drowning, and other hazards driving the toll. A new child passenger safety law begins tomorrow while Will County offers a free safety pamphlet "Keep Your Child Safe" to help parents reduce risk.
