## Resource

Hawaii Island police slammed the brakes on reckless driving along Saddle Road, pulling over 450 cars and issuing 320 speeding tickets in just one week. Four arrests followed — two for DUI, plus charges for driving without a license, resisting arrest, and even criminal littering. The crackdown comes after a deadly crash killed one and injured another on the same highway last Thursday. With weather shifts and remote stretches making the road treacherous, officers urge drivers to slow down, maintain safe distances, and ensure their vehicles are road-ready — all part of the “Heal Our Highways” campaign to keep the island’s roads safer for everyone.
