The Missouri Highway Patrol reports accidents and injuries down for Memorial Day, Memorial weekend, but comparable

I just returned from the great state of Washington and Dallas and it is time to post over here. At least Memorial Day accidents didn’t increase this year. It sounds like they certainly would have done so if not for the efforts of the Missouri Highway Patrol in concert with caring citizens and organizations.
In Jefferson City the Missouri Highway Patrol released its Memorial Day weekend accident statistics last Tuesday. All in all, I suppose this is bad news if you are a Dallas DUI attorney but good news for everyone else. Yes a DUI attorney probably would clean up.
The MHP reports that the number of Labor Day weekend injury accidents decreased from last year, and the number of Labor Day weekend injury accidents decreased from last year.
Apparently, for 2010, Memorial Day weekend traffic accidents in Missouri were comparable, however, close to how they were last year. It was reported that there were 270 traffic crashes between Friday at 6 p.m. and 11:59 p.m. Monday. Of those crashes, 133 people were injured and there were nine fatalities. There were 157 DWI citations issued. I am not sure right now about the DUI category but there were probably a lot of DUI as well.
The Missouri Highway Patrol joined in CARE, or the Combined Accident Reduction Effort. CARE is a nationwide movement conducted on holidays to prevent trouble when the roads are heavily traveled.
The Missouri Highway Patrol also partners with the Operation Ten Mile Trooper, which assigns a trouper to every ten miles on major roads like I-70 and Highway 63. With the expected numbers of cars on roads this weekend, the Highway Patrol department put all of its personnel on the road.
Captain Tim Hull was quoted as saying, “We put every availiable officer whose not on leave or sick leave or whatever out on the road….” I have noticed the same thing in Washington. Speaking of that, if you need a car accident attorney Washington then try this lawyer firm please.
Hull added that the Highway Patrol is not on the roads to harass motorists, but to keep people safe on those exceptionally busy travel days.
