During the timeframe of the AST Halloween campaign, over 400 citations were given, yet none of them involved fatal accidents.
There were 25 DUI arrests, 29 without a license, 175 speeding tickets, and 14 seatbelt violations over the period of the AST Halloween campaign. As for accidents, there were 25 in which only 6 were injured. Luckily, there were no fatalities.
The Halloween season tends to bring many motor vehicle accidents with it. This year, for Alaska, there weren’t too many compared to past years. Many states have been starting campaigns and getting law enforcement to come together each Halloween season to help put an end to drunk driving, a huge reason for many of the accidents. This has proven to be helpful.
Were you in an accident during the AST Halloween Campaign? Were you one of the 6 that suffered injury or one of the 25 that suffered property damage? If you were the victim in the accident and would like to collect compensation for your losses, call an Anchorage accident lawyer for legal guidance and representation. They will help you get the compensation that you are entitled too.
