Labor Day Weekend usually signals the last official weekend of summer. Many people will be taking to the roadways to enjoy soaking up sun and water fun. With increased numbers of people on the roadway, road construction and the increase in alcohol consumption, highway travel can be a dangerous place for motor vehicle crashes. Last year, there were 15 road fatalities over the holiday weekend which was higher than in 2015 with 10 fatalities.
The mere thought of getting a DUI is scary enough but a DUI pales in comparison to the injury and death that impaired driving can cause.
Highways and interstates are going to be extremely busy as everyone is making last-minute summer get-a-ways and Labor Day weekend plans. Road construction and repair will not be slowing down until the temperatures reach freezing well into the winter months.
Road and lane closures across the state will continue through the late summer travel, thus plan ahead. You can visit MoDOT and determine where road closures are in preparation for your travel. As well, there are several safety tips to keep in mind before you travel:
If you are involved in a motor vehicle incident, call the police immediately. Calling the emergency authorities is a safety issue for you and all of the other drivers. Plus, you need the authorities to do an incident report.
Our Injury Attorney app will give you step-by-step instructions that people often forget. After a crash, you are frazzled and emotional—using the app ensures that you get all of the information that you need to make the claim process easier later.
