(KAIR)--Four fatal crashes claimed six lives on Kansas roads during the Thanksgiving travel period.
That word comes in the release of statistics from the Kansas Highway Patrol for that period, which ran from 6:00 on the evening of November 22 through 11:59 on the night of November 26.
One of the fatal wrecks happened locally, in Jackson County, Saturday night, and claimed the lives of three Sabetha residents.
The three other crashes occurred in Barber, Sedgwick, and Riley Counties.
Of the four wrecks, the Patrol says two were alcohol-related.
The total number of DUI arrests was down this year, with 12 made compared to 27 during the same period one year ago.
Speed citations, and safety belt citations for both adults and teens were also down, as was the number of child restraint violations.
