New research shows teen drivers are three times as likely as adults to be involved in a deadly crash. These findings come as the "100 Deadliest Days” begins, between Memorial Day and Labor Day” when the average number of deadly teen driver crashes climbs 15 percent compared to the rest of the year. Marilyn Buskohl is the spokeswoman for AAA South Dakota and discusses the latest research.
