Flaherty, Superintendent of the Virginia State Police.
In an effort to safeguard motorists traveling in Virginia during the holiday weekend, the Virginia State Police joined law enforcement agencies nationwide in Operation C.A.R.E. (Combined Accident Reduction Effort). C.A.R.E. is a statesponsored, national program designed to reduce crashes, fatalities and injuries caused by speeding, impaired driving and failure to use occupant restraints, particularly during the national holidays. The Operation C.A.R.E. statistical counting period for the 2006 Fourth of July holiday began June 30 and ended at midnight July 4.
Five of those killed were between the ages of 14 and 19. The youngest victim was that of an 8-year-old female passenger who was killed in a single-vehicle crash in Mecklenburg County on July 1, 2006. She was not wearing a safety belt.
Both Henrico and New Kent counties had two traffic fatalities over the holiday weekend. The other fatal crashes occurred in the counties of Augusta, Buckingham, Dinwiddie, Fairfax, Frederick, Hanover, Isle of Wight, Mecklenburg, Patrick, Prince William, Southampton, Stafford and Westmoreland.
During the 120-hour holiday statistical counting period, Virginia State Police troopers worked a total of 933 traffic crashes, as well as arrested 152 impaired drivers
