SPRINGFIELD – State and local police are beefing up enforcement for the Halloween weekend.
More than one thousand people have died on Illinois roads so far this year and the Illinois Department of Transportation is hoping this weekend doesn’t bring about any more traffic deaths.
“IDOT and ISP have a campaign drive sober, get pulled over,” said IDOT spokesperson Paul Wappel. “We want everybody to be safe over the Halloween weekend. There are extra patrols as ISP troopers and local police througout the state.”
There will also be local roadside safety checks.
Wappel urges Halloween partygoers to plan how they are going to get home ahead of time.
