Blake Carnley was on fall break when he decided to take his father's truck for a spin.

"He got out playing around and had a good time," says Garrett. "We could tell, because there was skid marks everywhere where he had played in the yard and got on the dirt road."

Garrett says all she knows is he lost control.

"The truck overturned and partially ejected him," she says.

Around 2:00 that Monday afternoon, her baby brother was pronounced dead. Garrett believes if her brother had been wearing his seat belt, the ending would have been different.

"Chances are he would have been okay. It was just a head injury. There was no other scratches, bruises, anything on him. It was just a head injury," she says.

From 2006 to 2010, seat belts saved an average of 69,000 lives in the United States, and since January, more than 12,000 people have walked away from crashes, because they were buckled up.

Troy Police is one of the many agencies across the country participating in the "Click it or Ticket" campaign. Sgt. Benny Scarbrough says it's a state law his team doesn't take lightly.

"When a person gets in the vehicle, they have a responsibility to themselves," he says. "Especially the driver, they have a responsibility for the passengers in the vehicle to make sure everybody is wearing a seat belt."

Troy Police say there will be up to five additional officers starting May 25 through May 28 looking for those violating the seat belt law.
