MIAMI – Halloween is supposed to be spooky, but one study shows it can be downright dangerous, especially in South Florida.
The study by Cambridge Mobile Telematics shows Miami is the second-most dangerous city in the U.S. for trick-or-treaters.
Using statistics from the data of over 856,000 drives on Oct. 31, 2018, the study showed children were more likely to be hit by a car and killed on Halloween than on any other day of the year.
In an alarming find, the amount of driving trips on Halloween that involve speeding jumped a terrifying 235%.
Miami ranked second behind Ocean City, Maryland, and ahead of Memphis, Arlington, Va. and Park City, Utah.
Las Vegas was tops when it comes to the safest cities to trick-or-treat.
