 The Missouri State Highway Patrol and local authorities continue to prepare for what will be, once again, another busy 4th of July holiday across the lake. The patrol's sergeant, Kyle Green, says it's almost sounded like a broken record. He's urging motorists to just practice those safe behaviors behind the wheel. Each year we talk about doing the things that help reduce the number of traffic crashes in terms of people slowing down, increasing following distance, staying off their phones and things like that. But unfortunately, even last year, we still had 15 people that were killed in traffic crashes during that counting period.
