Zero Fatalities on I-40

As the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend concluded on Sunday, November 25, state troopers were out in full force.  According to AAA, Thanksgiving is one of the busiest holidays for travel across the country.  It was estimated that more than 54 million Americans would travel more than 50 miles away from home to be with family and friends.  Aligning with Drive to Save Lives initiative, the NCSHP participated in the Thanksgiving I-40 Challenge along the I-40 corridor. As a result of the campaign, SHP reported zero fatalities across the state with a total of 31 combined collisions.  While other major interstates and US highways were patrolled, the stats attached only reflect the I-40 Challenge statewide.
