Six people died and 262 others were injured in 746 crashes investigated by the Pennsylvania State Police during the Aug. 31– Sept. 3 Labor Day holiday driving period.
 
88 of the crashes were alcohol-related, including one fatality.
 
During the four-day holiday travel period, troopers arrested 440 persons for driving under the influence, issued over 7,700 speeding citations, and issued 109 citations for not securing children in safety seats.
 
Troopers also cited 783 people for failing to wear seat belts. Failure to properly wear a seat belt remains one of the leading causes of death and serious injury in crashes.
 
During last year’s Labor Day holiday travel period nine people died and 351 others were injured in 783 crashes investigated by troopers.
