Expect to see more police out on the roads over the Independence Day Holiday weekend. The Illinois State Police say they are boosting patrols, and troopers will be looking for speeders, distracted driver and drunk drivers. The I.S.P. says there are usually more fatal crashes, often involving alcohol or drugs this time of year.
Local Law Enforcement will also be on the lookout for speeders, distracted drivers and those not wearing a seatbelt. Officials are urging anyone celebrating with drinks this Fourth to have a plan for getting home safely. That includes having a designated driver, using a ride share service, taxi or public transportation. Also, if you get behind someone that appears to be driving drunk, pull over and call 9-1-1.
