Louisiana State Police urge safe driving during Thanksgiving travel
MONROE, La. (KNOE) – Louisiana State Police is reminding families traveling for Thanksgiving to make driving safety a priority.
LSP said holidays are for fellowship and gratitude, not tragedies on the roadways.

LSP urges all drivers to wear seatbelts, saying it can make the difference between life and death. They also encouraged everyone to buckle up before the vehicle moves.
Anyone who sees reckless driving or hazardous road conditions should call LSP (*577) and report to any State Police headquarters.
