National Life Savers Weekend Rounds Out Year

SOUTH CHARLESTON – The West Virginia State Police will be participating in the final Operation C.A.R.E. (Combined Accident Reduction Effort) campaign for the 2007 year. The International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) has designated December 21 - 23 as National Life Savers Weekend. This effort is designed to focus on the most frequent causes of traffic fatalities during the holiday season; driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, excessive speed and failure to use proper occupant restraint devices.

We would like to remind the public that if they witness a crash or stranded motorists on the highway, please report it to the State Police by dialing *SP (*77) on their cellular phone. This is a free service.
