FHP 4th of July Crackdown

July 12th, 2011 by flanews

As fireworks light up the sky over the Fourth of July weekend, so did the lights of the Florida Highway Patrol.

Today FHP released its Independence Day holiday statistics. 85-hundred citations were issued. Three thousand of those were for speeding. 90 were for driving under the influence. FHP Regional Chief Grady Carrick says troopers work overtime to watch the roads during times of celebration.

“The Florida Highway Patrol along with our other state and local partners are serious about traffic safety and we are serious about helping people enjoy the holidays in a safe and responsible way,” said Carrick.

Along with the arrests were 12 crashes that resulted in 13 deaths.
