TAMPA (970 WFLA) -- Halloween creates plenty of safety issues.
One is caused by those armies of trick-or-treaters on the streets. Hillsborough Sheriff's Deputy Jerry Carey says parents should walk alongside their children, (NOT just creep along in the car), and make sure they can be seen after dark. LED lighting or lightsticks or reflective tape are a couple of useful ideas.
For grown-ups at parties, Matt Nasworthy with Triple-A South in Tampa says, pick a driver, or book a cab... but if you don't, there's one more option... if you find yourself without a ride, call Tow to Go at (855) 2-TOW-2-GO... (855) 286-9246.
Nasworthy says nearly 40 percent of fatal crashes on Halloween involve a drunk driver.
