UH Injury Prevention Outreach Coordinator Kelli Watkins joined KMBC 9 News to remind trick-or-treaters to look left, right and left again. More children are hit by cars on Halloween than any other day.

OTHER WAYS TO STAY SAFE:
- Bring a flashlight, use reflective tape and glow sticks on costumes and treat bags.
- Wearing a mask and can't see? Leave it off until you get to the door.
- Stay on sidewalks/paths and only cross the streets at corners/crosswalks, not between parked cars.

Be careful and have fun!
