In the wake of a string of serious and fatal accidents on Route 24, the Massachusetts State Police are announcing a proactive patrol initiative for Routes 24 and 195 in southeastern Massachusetts.

Targeted enforcement operations are deployed on many nights throughout the year; nonetheless, the upcoming operations come on the heels of a tragic month on Massachusetts roads, particularly on Route 24. State Police responded to numerous crashes that caused fatal or serious injuries with different suspected contributing factors, including impairment, failure to wear a seatbelt, and wrong-way operation.

Patch will follow with more information.
