No traffic fatalities on I-5 during Thanksgiving Weekend

| December 15, 2013 5:00 AM

OLYMPIA – On Nov. 25, Washington State Patrol Chief John R. Batiste challenged drivers to “Arrive Alive” with zero fatalities on Interstate 5 during the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend.

Motorists in Washington met this challenge with no traffic fatalities on I-5 during the holiday weekend.

“I want to thank all the drivers who made this challenge a success with their decisions to not drink and drive, or speed, and to wear their seat belts,” Batiste said. “We met our goal of no fatalities on I-5 here in Washington, but the sad news is we still had three traffic fatalities in other parts of the state over the Thanksgiving Weekend.”

Not only did WSP have extra troopers out on I-5, there were extra troopers out statewide.
