Utah’s “100 Deadliest Days” on the roads are officially underway as UDOT and DPS urge drivers to slow down heading into the busy summer travel season.
The stretch between Memorial Day and Labor Day historically sees a rise in deadly crashes across Utah, with officials warning that speeding, distracted driving, and impaired driving continue to be some of the biggest causes.
With more people traveling, road tripping, and out late during the summer months, officials are asking drivers to stay alert and drive responsibly.
