(MNN) — Law enforcement agencies statewide are launching a speed enforcement campaign. State officials warn what they’ve dubbed a speeding crisis last year claimed the most lives in a single year since 2008.
Speed was listed as the primary factor in 364 traffic deaths on Minnesota roads in 2019, but that number jumped to 397 in 2020.
Officials say speeding motorists can expect to be stopped and fined, with stiffer penalties, including suspension of license, for people driving over 100 miles an hour.
