Memorial Day Weekend was a busy one for Connecticut State Police. Troopers responded to almost 6,500 calls for service, including 359 car crashes, several of which were fatal.

"One of the most fatal car weekends this state has ever suffered," said Gov. Ned Lamont. Twelve people were killed, ranging from ages 17 to 76.

This time of year is unfortunately known for being particularly dangerous on the roads. The time period between Memorial Day and Labor Day is known as the "100 Deadliest Days" for drivers.

"We have more people on our roads during the summer months and kids are out of school, they’re traveling more, they’re driving more so we’ve got an influx of teenagers on our roadways but we also have an influx of people traveling with family," said Tracy Noble, manager of public and government affairs for AAA.

The past couple of years have been some of the most dangerous on record. "Last year was a horrendous year for traffic fatalities overall," said David Reich, public relations director for the National Road Safety Foundation. "Nationally we hit a 16-year high in terms of traffic deaths," he said.
