The travel period, which ran from midnight on Friday through midnight on Monday, saw a total of six ALEA-investigated traffic deaths. Those were reported in Cleburne, Chilton, and Mobile counties. Monday also brought to an end ALEA’s ‘101 Days of Summer Safety’ campaign, which runs annually from Memorial Day to Labor Day, a period often referred to as the “100 deadliest days of summer.” The campaign aims to spread awareness on the dangers of risky driving behaviors and encourage safety talks with teens and loved ones. ALEA said, as of Sept. 1, 2024, it’s seen 32 fewer traffic fatalities compared to the same time in 2023.
“We would like to offer our sincerest condolences to the families who lost a loved one over the holiday weekend,” added ALEA’s Department of Public Safety Director, Colonel Jonathan Archer. “At ALEA, we often say one life is one too many. As law enforcement officers, we are sworn to protect and serve and that includes doing our best to be proactive and reduce crashes and fatalities.
