MSHP reminds drivers to have a safe Halloween
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- The Missouri State Highway Patrol wants to remind drivers to be more alert on Halloween.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Halloween involves potentially deadly crashes and impaired drivers on the road.
In 2023, nearly half of all crash fatalities on Halloween night were alcohol-related.
During this time, drivers are encouraged to be alert to trick-or-treaters, expect an increase in slow-moving vehicles and avoid driving under the influence.
