With Memorial Day weekend underway, state police are reminding citizens that a “zero tolerance” policy will be in effect in an effort to prevent crashes and save lives this weekend.
In 2019, 1,245 traffic stops were conducted with 13 DUI arrests and seven crash investigations were made. Fortunately, zero fatal crashes were reported and only one person was injured that year, however troopers say there were two alcohol-related crashes.
The majority of violations came through traffic citations, which totaled 1,323, and speeding citations, which totaled 950.
State police did not report 2020 statistics due to the pandemic.
Troopers remind Memorial Day celebrants to be safe and drive responsibly. They also remind citizens that they can visit 511pa.com for up-to-date travel information.
