Georgia State Patrol is teaming up with five neighboring states to catch impaired drivers this holiday weekend.
The Hands Across the Border initiative kicked off Tuesday with a ceremony. During the next six days drivers can expect to see more patrol activity on interstates and more sobriety road checks.
"Georgia loses 1600 souls to traffic fatalities a year. Usually that is someone's mother, father, or child," said Lt. Donnie Smith of Georgia State Patrol.
Georgia is working with Alabama, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Tennessee.
