Tribune editorial: Let’s be (more) careful out there
(Photo courtesy of Utah Highway Patrol) One man is dead after a car crash on Interstate 80 in Tooele County on Monday, July 25, 2016.This accident of the calendar flows from the fact that the season from Memorial Day to Labor Day, late May to early September, is the part of the year when more people are on the road, traveling longer distances for more hours and, perhaps inevitably, getting involved in more accidents.
The Utah Department of Transportation and the Utah Highway Patrol have put out the appropriate alerts and the UHP will have more officers on the roadways this holiday, hoping against hope to cut down on the number of accidents, injuries and fatalities.
