CHP releases frog jump weekend stats


CHP SAN ANDREAS FROG JUMP STATISTICS


San Andreas, CA – Between May 18th at 12:01 am to May 20th at 11:59 pm, the San Andreas CHP handled 2 traffic collisions, both were solo vehicles, one was a motorcycle, and none of the collisions were DUI related.  However, there were 2 people arrested for Driving Under the Influence.


Saturday, May 19th we brought in the Valley Division CHP RAID (Rapid Apprehension of Impaired Drivers) team which is funded by a federal grant.  Their presence during this event has brought our collision statistics from a high of 18 in 2006, to this year being the lowest with 2 collisions.  Our DUI statistics have gone from a high of 32 arrests in 2007 to this year with a low of 2 arrests.

“This years enforcement efforts were an effective deterrent.  Visitors & residents enjoyed themselves safely!” stated Lt. Ehlers.
