Virginia Stata Police say 14 people lost their lives in crashes during the four-day Memorial Day weekend. In 2020 there were 8 deaths during the same timeframe. Investigators say 2 of those killed were on motorcycles and 8 were not wearing a seat belt. Police wrote more than 5,500 speeding tickets and arrested close to 80 impaired drivers during the holiday weekend. Partions of fines go to the Virginia Literary Fund, which benefits public school construction, technology funding and teacher retirement.
