Labor Day Travel Could Be Busy

Oregon Triple A says Labor Day travel is expected to be down slightly this year compared to last year, but people who do travel will go further, and most will drive. Oregon State Police will be on saturation patrols all weekend, starting tonight. Lt Greg Hastings says it's important that you don't drive drowsy or drunk: “It’s the 2nd deadliest holiday weekend in Oregon. We now that alcohol is a contributing factor in over half of the holiday crashes that happen.” Those State Police saturation patrols start tonight at 6 o'clock. 31.5 million Americans are planning to go somewhere this weekend. Most are traveling by car.
