Five predominantly rural Arkansas counties will take part in a new multi-agency campaign to increase seat belt usage among drivers.
The High Five Rural Traffic Safety Project was announced Wednesday in a news conference at Arkansas State Police headquarters in Little Rock. The program will focus on Calhoun, Cross, Fulton, Monroe and White counties due to their higher-than-average rate of traffic injuries and fatalities.
