THP announces Fourth of July traffic enforcement strategy
NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Highway Patrol will conduct a variety of traffic safety initiatives and utilize data-driven enforcement strategies during the Fourth of July holiday period to help reduce serious injury and fatal crashes across the state. The traffic safety campaign will begin at 6 p.m. Friday, July 2, and conclude at 5:59 a.m. Tuesday, July 6.
During last year’s 84-hour Fourth of July holiday period, 13 people were killed. Of those 13 traffic crash fatalities, nine were vehicle occupants, two were motorcyclists, and two were pedestrians. Of the fatal crashes, six of the fatalities were alcohol-related. We are entering into the deadliest time of the summer for teens. Over the past three years, the first two weeks of July have been the deadliest stretch for teens, with 16 teens killed from July 1-14. The deadliest few days of the period have been July 5-8, when 11 of those fatalities occurred.
