With a surge of winter weather impacting northwestern Colorado, law enforcement agencies have teamed up to enforce safe practices this holiday travel weekend. “Troopers, officers, and deputies in multiple counties in northwestern Colorado will be adding extra patrols in areas such as Eagle, Grand, Routt, Summit, and Moffat Counties to enforce Colorado traffic laws and look for impaired drivers,” shares the CSP announcement. “Driving in Colorado winter weather can bring extra hazards and be dangerous if you’re not prepared. Colorado State Troopers responded to 11,745 crashes last winter, with impacts ranging from property damage to death. Whether encountering fog, snow, or icy conditions, the best way to minimize risk is to reduce your speed.” Regardless of what direction you are headed for the holiday, slow down, put distractions away, always wear proper restraints, and drive sober.
