SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Highway Patrol is cautioning everyone to drive safely as we wrap up what's called the "100 Deadliest Days" — the name given to the period between Memorial Day and Labor Day, when the number of fatal crashes is usually highest.

"You just don’t know what could happen between now and the time you make it back home from all over the state or across the country this Labor Day weekend," UHP Sgt. Andrew Battenfield said.

Battenfield says they've had a double-digit decline in the numbers this summer when it comes to fatal crashes, but there's still a long way to go toward their goal of zero fatalities.

"Is that a goal we can reach? We’re going to come as close as we can and try as hard as we can every year, but we need the public’s help with that," he said.
