The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) has released its report of traffic fatalities and violations for the 2025 Thanksgiving holiday.
According to the report there were:
697 traffic crashes
2,552 citations issued
1,452 warnings issued
7 traffic fatalities
20 DUI arrests
The fatalities occurred in Chambers, Houston, Jefferson, Limestone, Lowndes, Sumter and Talladega counties.
“Tragically, the loved ones of seven individuals will never forget this extended Thanksgiving weekend," said ALEA Secretary Hal Taylor. "We at ALEA offer our deepest sympathies to their families and friends. Notifying the family after a fatal traffic crash is one of our Troopers’ most challenging and heartbreaking responsibilities, particularly during this time of year, when most Alabamians are gathering with those they cherish."
"Moments like this serve as a sobering reminder of why our work matters and why it is so important that we, as a law enforcement agency, continue doing everything within our power to save lives on Alabama’s roadways.”
According to the report the top contributing factors were speeding, driving too fast for conditions and DUI.
