The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency says its troopers investigated eight deaths during the 2022 Thanksgiving holiday travel period, up from seven reported during the same period a year earlier.
The holiday travel period ran between midnight on Nov. 23 and midnight Nov. 27 and involved deadly crashes in Cleburne, Dallas, Elmore, Lee, Mobile and Pike counties. ALEA said four of the seven victims were riding in vehicles where seat belts were not in use at the time of the crashes.“I would like to offer my sincere condolences to the families of the eight individuals who tragically lost their lives during the holiday travel period.
“Although statistics change, the causes of these crashes remain the same,” Colonel Jimmy Helms, the Director of ALEA’s Department of Public Safety added. “Impairment, speeding, distractions and lack of seat belts are all common factors of deadly crashes in our state. Our top priority is to promote public safety by enforcing Alabama’s traffic laws in order to reduce crashes and save lives.
The fatality figures do not include crashes that were investigated by local law enforcement departments.
