Troop I Announces 2018 Labor Day Enforcement And Crash Totals
Captain James W. Remillard, commanding officer of Troop I, announces enforcement and crash totals for Troop I during the Labor Day holiday weekend. The counting period for the holiday started at 6 p.m. on August 31, 2018, and ended at 11:59 p.m. on September 3, 2018.
Troopers investigated 12 crashes where three injuries were reported. There were six driving while intoxicated arrests and 12 drug arrests. There were zero fatalities.
Troopers reported no boating related injuries, fatalities, or crashes.
The only 100 percent survivable crash is the one that never happens. Make sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint. Every day we travel on Missouri’s roadways, we trust that every driver on the road is going to obey the speed limit, pay attention, and drive sober. “
Don’t Violate The Trust
