“Pennsylvania State Police dropped their Labor Day Weekend report and the numbers are in. They looked into 790 crashes across the state. Out of those, 152 resulted in injuries, and 67 were linked to driving under the influence.”From the transcript

Labor Day weekend crashes spike in Pennsylvania: 790 total accidents, 152 with injuries, 67 DUI-related — and tragically, three lives lost. Troopers ramped up enforcement from Sept. 4–7, netting 450 DUI arrests and over 25,000 citations — including speeding, seatbelt violations, and child safety issues. Despite the uptick in crashes and injuries, overall arrests and citations were down compared to last year.

Pennsylvania State Police dropped their Labor Day Weekend report and the numbers are in. They looked into 790 crashes across the state. Out of those, 152 resulted in injuries, and 67 were linked to driving under the influence. Sadly, three lives were lost. Compared to last year's holiday weekend, that's an increase of 40 total crashes and 23 more with injuries. State troopers were out in full force with a special enforcement push from Friday, September 4, through Monday, September 7. During that period, they made 450 DUI arrests and handed out a massive 25,402 citations. This included over 6,000 for speeding, 770 for not wearing seat belts, and 84 for not properly buckling of kids. Interestingly, the report also mentioned that the total number of citations and arrests this year was actually lower than last year's Labor Day. Weekend, it's worth noting these numbers only cover what the state police handled

so other local departments might have different figures. That wraps Harrisburg News today, brought to you with AI. I'm Kory with the story.
