Operation C.A.R.E is designed to reduce traffic crashes and it appears to be working in Michigan.

The Michigan State Police say deadly traffic crashes during the 2016 Thanksgiving weekend are down. Preliminary numbers show six people died in six separate crashes this year, down from 11 fatal crashes in 2015.

The Combined Accident Reduction Effort has MSP troopers conduct high-visibility enforcement efforts focusing on impaired driving, seat belt use, careless driving, and speeding.
