Labor Day Roads Safer but Still Dangerous | Atlanta News

This Labor Day weekend in Georgia saw five deadly car crashes and over 130 injuries — a stark but hopeful drop from last year’s 15 fatalities. Authorities made 364 DUI arrests, hundreds for distracted driving and seatbelt violations, and investigated 350+ vehicle crashes statewide, 24 tied to impairment and 22 involving big rigs. Meanwhile, waterways stayed remarkably safe: zero boating deaths or serious injuries, though nine BUI arrests were made — mostly at Lake Lanier. It’s a sobering reminder: stay focused, drive responsibly, and enjoy the holidays safely. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
