Last year, exactly 124 people died on Minnesota roads during the 100-day stretch. Police say all motorists should buckle up and pay attention every time they leave.<\/p>\n<p>Lt. Brad Norland with the Minnesota State Patrol says, \u201cWe want people buckling up. We want them paying attention because when you\u2019re driving down the road there\u2019s so many people that are driving distracted. We want you to pay attention so that you can see any hazards coming at you or anybody who isn\u2019t paying attention that\u2019s coming at you. We want you to be able to take evasive maneuvers to avoid any collisions and obviously also, don\u2019t drink and drive and drive the speed limit. We just want people to be safe because, you know, we care about people out here and we don&#8217;t want anybody getting hurt.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Minnesota State Patrol plans to have extra enforcement on the roads all throughout the summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Memorial Day to Labor Day is known as the 100 Deadliest Days to be driving on the roads.
