Blount County , Tennessee
Alabama State Troopers issued more than 100 speeding citations in Blount County Friday during a special operation following a spate of deadly traffic crashes over the past month.
Lawmen carried out a 13-hour traffic enforcement blitz, issuing a total of 158 citations for violations that contribute to crashes that can cause injury or death, said Senior Trooper Chuck Daniel. He said they hope the Blount County operation will help promote safer driving statewide.
On Thursday, 16-year-old Vallery Michelle Dalrymple and 17-year Jon Cannon, were killed and four other injured in a head-on collision. The crash happened at 3:50 p.m. Thursday on U.S. 278 near Jones Road, just west of Snead. Alabama State Troopers said Dalrymple was seriously injured when the 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier she was driving collided with a 2000 Ford Windstar driven by Jo Cornelius Cloud, 79, of Guntersville.
