With Halloween just around the corner, the Red Duke Trauma Institute and Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital provide tips to make your Halloween night fun and safe.
Halloween is the second deadliest day of the year for pedestrians. More than twice as many children are killed in pedestrian accidents on Halloween night than any other day in the year.
