We all have a part to play in keeping our roads safe.
The latest statistics from WSDOT are a sobering reminder of the dangers faced by those working along our roadways.
In just the first nine months of 2026, 64 Washington State Patrol vehicles were struck while responding to incidents or conducting traffic enforcement, injuring 19 troopers.
Tow truck drivers also face significant risks, with a fatality rate nearly 15 times higher than that of workers in other occupations.
Whether you're behind the wheel of a passenger vehicle or a commercial truck, please stay alert, slow down, and move over for those working along our roads.
Everyone deserves to make it home safely at the end of the day.
Help us spread the word!
